Moraine Lake

Past Lake Louise, toward the finish of a beautiful 13 kilometer-long twisty mountain street, is Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Like Lake Louise, this is another grand setting with comparative turquoise water encompassed by snow-topped pinnacles, yet it is substantially less gone to. It was for a long time the area of the picture on the invert side of the old Canadian twenty dollar charge.

Moraine Lake is dominated by ten pinnacles, every in excess of 3,000 meters high, containing the Wenkchemna Glacier. There is an extraordinary view over the lake from an ignore came to by climbing up a short way known as the Rockpile Trail, situated close to the parking garage. In the spring, the thunder of falling ice sheets or avalanches can be heard out yonder.
