Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake
located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake itself is
easily accessed from the Icefields Parkway. It was named for Bill Peyto, an
early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area.
The lake is formed in a valley of the Waputik
Range, between Caldron Peak, Peyto Peak and Mount Jimmy Simpson, at an elevation
of 1,860 m. During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour
flow into the lake, and these suspended rock particles give the lake a bright,
turquoise colour.
