Travel Photo of the Month - February 2014 - Peyto Lake, Canada

Back in 2003, while camping through the Rocky Mountains, we were hiking on the promise of seeing a wolf.  We were excited,  we had seen bears so far, a wolf would just make my day....little did I know that this would be the view of the wolf!  Peyto Lake, Alberta, Canada.

Peyto Lake is in Banff National Park.  It's a glacial lake, meaning that the flow from the mountains carries rock flour which makes the water this brilliant  turquoise blue.  I sat for a long time marvelling at this view.
