Located just off the Icefields Parkway at Bow Summit, Peyto Lake is 40km north of Lake Louise making it is easy to get to. Likely, ease of access and incredible views are two of the reasons it is one of the most popular sightseeing stops in Banff National Park and along the Columbian Icefields Parkway. As a top rated attraction and being one of the most photographed lakes in Canada, Peyto Lake can draw a crowd. This stop is worth it even for adventure seekers that would typically shy away from the more touristy spots.
