*** About Moraine Lake: Moraine Lake, renowned for its distinctive turquoise-blue waters, owes its vibrant coloration to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake by surrounding glaciers. Situated in Banff National Park, Alberta, this glacially fed lake sits at an altitude of approximately 1,885 meters. The lake is most famous for its stunning views against the backdrop of the Ten Peaks, a range named for the ten notable mountains that dominate the skyline. It is a popular destination for both hiking and canoeing, offering numerous trails that range from leisurely walks to challenging hikes. Moraine Lake's accessibility varies seasonally, peaking in the summer months when the glacial meltwater is at its most vibrant.
