A cool shot for a hot day.....
Was a fun hike up Bow Summit in the snow to catch the sunset over this iconic lake. Wicked winds as well, as the ruffled lake shows. One of my all-time favorite hikes and sunsets.
"The lake is formed in a valley of the Waputik Range, between Caldron Peak, Peyto Peak and Mount Jimmy Simpson, at an elevation of 1,860 m (6,100 ft).
Ebenezer William "Bill" Peyto (14 February 1869 in Welling, Kent – 23 March 1943 in Banff, Alberta) was a pioneer, railway laborer and mountain guide. As a guide, Peyto was chosen to lead Edward Whymper to Vermilion Pass. His large photograph prominently marks the entrance to the town of Banff, Alberta. Peyto Glacier on the Continental Divide and Peyto Lake are named in his honour.
Peyto worked as a park warden in the Banff National Park from 1913 until his retirement in 1936, with his duties interrupted by his service in the First World War."
