Description
Peyto Lake is know for its jewel-tone blue tones. Many lakes in Banff and Jasper National Park have beautiful tones, but Peyto Lakes is very unique. The color comes from the silt that is produced when a glacier moves on the rock beneath it, grinding it down. It is called rock flour. The silt stays suspended in the water and absorbs the warmer colors from light, leaving blue and green tones.
