Huge turquoise lake named after a high mountain guide, accessible by following Bow Summit Parking and a small trail.

Unmissable for its turquoise colour and vastness, this lake owes its name to a certain Bill Peyto, a pioneer and high mountain guide from the United Kingdom, one of the first guardians of Banff National Park. In 1898, during an expedition, having sought a few moments of solitude, Bill got lost, slipped, and his fellow travellers found him asleep on the edge of this lake. Nice wake-up call! Drive to the Bow Summit Parking, follow a small path and you're there to enjoy a day out or a picnic by the water.

Beau lac en forme de patte d'ours
L'arrêt n'est pas très bien indiqué (Bow Summit). Il faut en effet atteindre le Bow Summit (ça monte mais la piste est facile, environ 20 minutes de montée) pour admirer le lac Peyto, en forme de patte d’ours.
Magnifique couleur mais tellement de monde...

Moment tant attendu, je ne suis pas décue lorsque les 20min de randonnée sont passées. La vue d'en haut est magnifique, le glacier et son eau qui fond (le lac peyto) qui est d'un superbe bleu clair . Nous y avons même rencontré des spermophiles (petit ecureuils rayés )

Situé à 40 minutes de route de Banff, le lac Peyto est un incontournable de Parc National de Banff. Depuis les nombreux parkings, il vous faudra manrcher 15 minutes pour rejoindre le point de vue.

Un lac aux eaux turquoises, sont le point de vue est facilement accessible en 15min à pied depuis le parking en pente légère. C'est tout simplement le meilleur rapport effort/qualité du point de vue que vous aurez dans les rocheuses canadiennes. A ne louper sous aucuns prétextes.

Un lac magnifique à seulement 15 min de marche du parking. Le panorama sur le lac et les montagne est grandiose. Le bleu de ce lac semble irréel. Possibilité de grimper jusqu'au Bow summit, pour les plus courageux, pour un point de vue surélevé.
