Moraine Lake
Admission includedStanding at the edge of Moraine Lake, the water is almost unreal in its color, a dense, luminous turquoise produced by glacial rock flour suspended just below the surface. The Valley of the Ten Peaks rises sharply behind it, their snow-streaked ridgelines reflected in near-perfect stillness on calm mornings. Moraine Lake sits at roughly 1,885 meters in Banff National Park, and the alpine air carries the scent of spruce and cold stone. The surrounding larch forests turn a warm gold each autumn, drawing visitors who want to see one of the most photographed landscapes in Canada at its most vivid.
