Moraine Lake is one of the jewels of the Canadian Rockies. This view is so popular that it was featured on the Canadian $20 note from 1969-1979. Arrive predawn as morning light is key to capturing the iconic turquoise hues. A windless day enabled mirror-like conditions. Members visiting the 2023 TCC Calgary Stampede regional event should seize the opportunity and take a canoe onto the lake for a near-transcendental experience.
HONORABLE MENTIONS

A very rare view of Upper Kananaskis Lake in October. We had some lovely weather for this time of year and decided to camp nearby. Arriving at the lake to start a hike, we were greeted by this jaw dropping vista. Inukshuks got there first!

In May 2021, Jackson Lake was partially frozen and very still, providing dramatic reflections of the Grand Teton Range in Wyoming. It’s one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the U.S. at 2,064 meters (6,772 feet) above sea level.
