When driving the Icefields Parkway in Alberta, a very short detour would take you to the Peyto Lake viewpoint. While the aquamarine colour of the lake is stunning, there's a hint of it on the lower right edge of this image, you must look up to the mountains and glaciers that gave birth to the lake. The glaciers have long since receded to the higher elevations but they have left their mark on this mountainscape.

Just a short detour from the Icefields Parkway in Alberta lies the incredibly beautiful Peyto Lake. It is an awe-inspiring experience to look down on the richly aquamarine-toned lake surrounded by magnificent mountains and the glaciers that feed the lake.

The clouds that persistently followed us down the Icefields Parkway cleared for just long enough that I could get this view -- still bathed in sunlight -- of the stunning, glacier-fed Peyto Lake. Read more: http://www.bootsandabackpack.com/a-sprint-to-peyto-lake/

Wow! What a difference a month makes. When I visited the Bow Summit in September, the peaks had just received their first dusting of snow. A month later, we hiked through the snow just to get to the lookout, and the snow on the slopes below it made for a perfect spot to have a winter picnic and enjoy the amazing views.

It doesn't get much better than going to somewhere that is packed during the day and finding it completely deserted for sunrise. I had the entire Bow Summit lookout to myself for much of this morning, and that made it feel even more special when the peaks all started to glow in orange, their reflection in the water below. Sure, the water is a brighter blue at midday, but this is truly the way to see Peyto Lake.

Can you see the person standing on the edge and enjoying the view? He's so hard to pick in the seemingly never-ending landscape of trees and mountains stretching out beyond the Bow Summit. I never get sick of this lookout because it seems to change every time I visit -- in the time I've lived in Canada, the lake has morphed from milky green to blue to white!

While much of the rest of the Icefields Parkway felt more like autumn than winter, the Bow Summit didn't quite fall into that category. We had to plow through a bit of snow just to park and then were treated to a winter wonderland of frosted trees and snowy tracks on our way up to the Peyto Lake viewpoint. It was one of the highlights of our drive!
