Lake Louise, in the Canadian state of Alberta, is the “number one” attraction, it is found on every postcard and poster. However, located just 29 miles away, “sister” Louise is actually much more picturesque. Of course, we are talking about Lake Peyto.
Every summer, when the snows begin to melt, the shores of Lake Peyto, which is part of the Banff National Park, turn into a real azure, a paradise that looks more like a tropical paradise of Bora Bora or Antigua.

For the most impressive views that open from a height of about 1.7 miles — go to the top of the Bow Summit.
The lake owes its popularity to its strange shape (it resembles the head of a huge wolf), as well as an unusual “tropical” color. The reason is that the glaciers feeding Peyto carry mountain glacial flour, which turns the water into thick turquoise, diluted with milk.
Nearby: The town of Banff, the heart of the National Park, is 62 miles from Peyto Lake.
