Peyto Lake & Bow Lake's viewpoint
Peyto Lake is a beautiful turquoise lake. At the viewpoint you have a great overview of the lake. We also decided to hike to Bow Lake's viewpoint. It's a strenuous hike, which starts next to Peyto Lake's viewpoint. You go quite high up the mountain, which resulted in amazing views! Chances are high to meet some marmots. After the hike, we drove to Bow Lake to see the lake up close.
