Bow Lake
Bow Lake is located approximately 30 minutes north of Lake Louise and off the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) in the Canadian Rockies. It is half a mile north of the Crowfoot Glacier. It sits at an elevation of 1,920 m (6,300 ft) and is one of the largest lakes at the Banff National Park. It is fed by the meltwater from the Bow Glacier in the Wapta Icefield. Bow Lake is a wonderful place for a picnic and to enjoy scenic breathtaking views.

Peyto Lake
Every summer, a large amount of glacial rock powder flows into the lake, and the particles of these rocks make the lake appear bright turquoise. Therefore, Peyto Lake has become a popular tourist attraction in the park.
