0056 Peyto Lake

Continuing our drive, we headed towards Peyto Lake to eat our lunch. Earlier in the day, we bought sandwiches from a convenient store so we don't have to look for a place to eat during the day, interrupting the flow of our adventure. Peyto Lake was named after the park warden Bill Peyto and is one of the more popular sites. To actually see the lake, one must trek a 0.2 mile uphill trail that leads to a wood-decked viewpoint, which used to be a fire lookout, looking out over the cerulean-blue lake. It is here where we ate our lunch. Along the way, I took a picture of anemone flower. The "furriness" of the flower traps warmth, prevents drying out and filters out the strong light rays of higher elevations.
