The Jewel of Alberta; Moraine Lake, Canada

on August 16, 2019

Beautiful Moraine Lake is a glacially fed lake located in the Banff National Park’s Valley of the Ten Peaks about 10 miles from Lake Louise. The vivid blue waters of the lake come from nearby Fay Glacier via Larch Creek. Lake Louise may be the more popular of the lakes among the travel industry and visitors but Moraine, with its indigo hued waters surrounded by the Ten Peaks, is a remarkable beauty you will not want to miss.
