two jack lake

#mytraveldiary 📍 Just 10–15 minutes from Banff townsite, along Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive 🏔️ Set below Mount Rundle, with crystal-clear turquoise water 💧 Connected to Lake Minnewanka, but smaller and more intimate 🌲 Surrounded by forest, with excellent spots for relaxing or light activity ✅ Why It’s Popular 1. Stunning Views, Fewer Crowds You get those classic Rocky Mountain lake views, but with fewer tour buses than at Lake Louise or Moraine Lake. It’s popular but more relaxed and local-feeling. 2. Picnicking & Chilling Large picnic area near the day-use parking lot — benches, shade, and restrooms. Often used by locals for sunset hangouts and peaceful afternoons.
