Moraine Lake

Located in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, Moraine Lake is famous for its vibrant blue waters, a result of light refracting off glacial silt. Encircled by the Valley of the Ten Peaks, the lake and its surrounding area offer some of the most compelling landscapes in the Canadian Rockies. Whether you hike up to the rockpile at the end of the lake for a panoramic view or explore some of the trails that begin in the area, Moraine Lake is a quintessential stop for any visitor to Banff.
