I photographed this grand scene at Peyto Lake while on a Tauck tour of the Canadian Rockies. What an opportunity for a baby boomer photographer! Have you visited Peyto Lake? Post a comment to share your experience. Next time, Alan and I hope a hike is included in the experience.

I cannot believe how blue Peyto Lake is. Even with all the photos in Canadian travel brochures, I found the blueness quite striking, offset by the contrast with the greenness of the fir trees around it. I can see why it is so popular.
This turquoise lake is amazing! I saw green lakes in Switzerland, and dark blue fiords in Norway, but Canada wins the prize for the most astounding color. Wow!
What kind of camera did you take this with? The detail it captured in the distance is quite impressive.

You won't believe this but the when I took that photo, I was using a Pentax Optio S4. I also used the “sharpen” feature in Google Picasa. Since then, I've moved up to a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18.
Lovely, just as I remember it. Although, in your picture it looks a bit warmer that it was when I visited in December!
Gorgeous! I haven't visited Canada so far and looking at your pictures makes me think this is a travel I need to plan very soon. Have you been hiking in the region?

No, I haven't been hiking in the region. But that's definitely on our “to do” list on a return visit.

A visit in December must have been really cold!
