Moraine Lake, Rocky Mountains, Canada

Moraine Lake is a glacial lake in Banff National Park, Canada, at an altitude of 1,884 meters, with an area of ​​only 0.5 square kilometers. It is located in the rugged Ten Peaks Valley and is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and rock piles, creating a stunning scene. On sunny days the water often takes on the most amazing colour, a vivid turquoise that changes to varying degrees throughout the summer as the glaciers melt. It almost seems unreal. Because Moraine Lake is a glacial lake, the water only reaches its highest point in mid- to late June each year, reflecting the deposited rock powder and presenting a beautiful blue-green color. Sit by the lake and soak up the views and pure mountain air, or explore further through boating and hiking. It's an iconic, jaw-dropping place that is sure to leave a lasting impression. A great view of Moraine Lake - the Valley of the Ten Peaks, which was featured on the reverse side of the Canadian $20 bill issued in 1969 and 1979. #OverseasTravel #CanadaTravel #RockyMountains #BanffNationalPark #Lake #SnowMountain #canada #canadatravel #morainelake
