Peyto Lake is a stunning glacial lake located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta. Known for its vibrant turquoise color, which is a result of rock flour carried into the lake by meltwater from the Peyto Glacier, it is a popular destination for tourists and photographers. The lake is named after Bill Peyto, an early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the lake from the Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefields Parkway, which provides a panoramic vista of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
