Lake Peyto is located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies and is completely fed by the meltwater of the glacier. The lake was named after Bill Peyto, a researcher who discovered this miracle of nature.

The lake is located high in the mountains at an altitude of 1860 meters, surrounded by several rocky peaks. In summer the glacier begins to melt more intensively, and special particles enter the water, which color the lake in bright turquoise color. Peyto can no doubt be included in the list of the most beautiful colored lakes in the world.
Thanks to the special beauty of the local nature, pictures of the lake flew around the world, and thousands of tourists and travelers traveled here. For nature lovers there are many excursions, good, there is something to admire. Peyto is on the list of 13 places with the most blue water.

One of the main features of the lake is its unusual shape, if you look at it from a bird’s eye view, it looks like a huge wolf head. The water in the lake has a rich turquoise hue, which also attracts attention. Each year the lake is replenished with water from nearby glaciers. Mountain streams bring with them to the lake the smallest particles of minerals, which make the color of water so unusual. Now on the lake shore for tourists there are several comfortable recreation centers, here you can perfectly relax for several days and enjoy the natural splendor.
