Mountain Peaks Reflect Into Bowman Lake In Autumn, Glacier National Park

Moraine Lake was every bit as stunning as it is said to be. This was one of my first glimpses of the lake before I climbed the Rockpile (to the left) and it's still one of my favourites.

The deep blue and emerald waters of Moraine Lake sparkle in a panoramic view seen from "The Rockpile."

There's a great hike to take if you visit Lake Louise, in Banff National Park, but it's not to Lake Louise. High to the right of the lake resides a hidden, hanging valley that contains the beautiful Lake Agnes. Your climb up to the lake is rewarded by not only the view but also the wonderful tea house that's located there. There's no road to the tea house, and the staff bring up everything that is needed each day in backpacks. However, they do offer a wonderful selection of teas. Now more about the image. It was captured in the late afternoon, the Sun had already set in the valley, so the view was infused with the soft blue light from the deep blue sky. All was calm, not a ripple on the lake, and the view of the mountains was spectacular.
