Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks.

Banff National Park
The Valley of the Ten Peaks is a group of 10 mountains that are located on the continental divide rising above Moraine Lake. The peaks appeared on the reverse side of the 1970 and 1978 Canadian 20 dollar bill and on a 2 Mountcent
stamp. The lake is glacier fed and coloured with glacial flour, it changes from turquoise to blue green depending on the time of year and sky.

The hardest part of photographing this was finding a parking spot, the large parking area was packed....
