Sitting at an elevation of approximately 1,860 meters, the lake is easily accessible via the Icefields Parkway and is a popular destination for both tourists and photographers. In the summer, the lake's water reflects a vivid shade of blue or green, depending solely on the silt conditions at the time of melting. Surrounding the lake are vast forests and towering mountains, which provide a stunning backdrop and are home to a variety of wildlife, including elk, wolves, and grizzly bears. Peyto Lake is named after Bill Peyto, a pioneer, mountain guide, and early park warden in the Canadian Rockies.
