Review & FAQ:

Peyto Lake is pretty enough to appear on a postcard. In fact, its mesmerizing pale turquoise color is so beautiful that the lake often does appear on postcards that feature the Rockies. The lake is fed by Peyto Glacier, which is part of the Wapta Icefield, via rapid-flowing Peyto Creek.

The lake is located in Banff National Park, about 38 kilometers from Lake Louise. The best view of the lake is from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefields Parkway.
