Description

Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake is near Icefields Parkway. It was named for Bill Peyto, an early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area.

The lake is formed in a valley of the Waputik Range, between Caldron Peak, Peyto Peak and Mount Jimmy Simpson, at an elevation of 1,860 m (6,100 ft).

During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake, and these suspended rock particles give the lake a bright, turquoise color that looks milky. The lake is best seen from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefields Parkway.

The lake is fed by Peyto Creek, which drains water from Caldron Lake and Peyto Glacier (part of the Wapta Icefield). Peyto Lake is the origin of the Mistaya River,[4] which heads northwest from the lake's outflow.

The lake is a stunning reminder of the unusual photo subjects found in this area and is beautiful in acrylic, metal or framed and matted and if a wonderful gift for someone special.

Award winner in "Sunset Contest". 6th place out of 948 entries.
