PEYTO LAKE VIEWPOINT
A little over 20 miles north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway, you will come to a viewpoint over Lake Louise that is an obligatory stopping point for travelers. The view over the glacially turquoise waters of Peyto Lake below are sublime. What most people don’t realize is that another one of those hiking gems of the Canadian Rockies also emanates from here - the 16 kilometer walk to Cauldron Lake. Most are en route for Jasper. Cauldron Lake is a primeval gem waiting for you. You do need to give it a full day. Take your picture of magnificent Peyto Lake and then wander into magnificence en route to Cauldron Lake.
