  Moraine Lake

  (SEASONAL) Nestled high in the Canadian Rockies and accessible only from June 1st to October 15th, Moraine Lake stands as one of the most iconic and breathtaking sights in Banff National Park. This glacial-fed lake is world-famous for its vibrant turquoise color, caused by fine rock particles reflecting in the sunlight. Surrounding it is the legendary Valley of the Ten Peaks, a dramatic wall of mountains that creates one of the most photographed landscapes in Canada. During the summer months, the lake transforms into a mirror of bright blue skies, evergreen forests, and rugged peaks, offering a view so striking it almost feels unreal. A visit during the open season is truly unforgettable—Moraine Lake’s untouched beauty, fresh alpine air, and postcard-perfect scenery make it a must-see highlight of your Banff adventure. (SUMMER)
