Moraine Lake, Glacially fed lake in Banff National Park, Canada
Moraine Lake is a stunning body of water nestled in the Valley of the Ten Peaks.
The lake was once featured on the reverse side of the 1969 and 1979 issues of the Canadian twenty dollar bill.
Moraine Lake is a popular destination for hiking, canoeing, and photography due to its vibrant blue waters and picturesque mountain backdrop.
The best time to visit Moraine Lake is from late June to August when the lake is fully thawed and at its most vibrant.
The intense shade of turquoise of Moraine Lake is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake.
