Moraine Lake
When visiting Moraine Lake, tourists are treated to one of the most iconic and stunning natural landscapes in the Canadian Rockies. Key sights and experiences include:
Ten Peaks: Moraine Lake is set in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, where the towering mountains create a dramatic backdrop, especially breathtaking at sunrise and sunset.
Turquoise Waters: The lake’s strikingly vibrant blue color, which changes throughout the summer due to the refraction of light off the glacial flour in the water, is a major highlight.
Rockpile Trail: A short, easy hike up the Rockpile provides an elevated viewpoint known as the "Twenty Dollar View," famously depicted on the old Canadian twenty-dollar bill.
Shoreline Trail: Walking along the shore offers up-close views of the crystal-clear waters and surrounding peaks, perfect for photography.
Canoeing: Paddling on Moraine Lake offers a tranquil experience with unparalleled views of the mountains reflecting in the water.
