Moraine Lake

Hidden within the rugged embrace of Banff National Park, Moraine Lake is widely regarded as the most photogenic location in the Canadian Rockies. The lake is set in the dramatic Valley of the Ten Peaks, where ten snow-capped sentinels rise steeply from the water’s edge, creating a scene of unparalleled grandeur. The view is so iconic that it was featured on the back of the Canadian $20 bill, earning it the nickname "The Twenty Dollar View." Fed by glaciers, its waters are a vivid, intense shade of turquoise that seems almost surreal. Due to its high elevation and heavy snowfall, the road to Moraine Lake is seasonally restricted, open only from June to mid-October. Travelers can only visit this secret lake through Travel Tour or Authorized Bus Shuttle. This limited access adds to its allure, making a visit to this pristine alpine sanctuary a rare and coveted experience for travelers worldwide.
