However, there are some things you should keep in mind before visiting Peyto Lake, including the fact that it is cold all year round and temperatures can drop below zero in August. You should also be prepared to face the mosquitoes in the area.
Peyto Lake is located in the Banff National Park, a glacier-fed lake. It covers about 5,3 square kilometres and is about two and a half kilometres long. The lake is named after a former trapper and trail guide named Bill Peyto. The best time to visit is summer and early fall when the lake is blue.

Gray Jays are omnivores, eating everything from insects to berries to various vegetable substances. They often visit campsites and are known to eat bird eggs, insects, and fruits. These birds are active, moving from branch to branch and often pausing to scan their surroundings. They lay several grey-green eggs in a twig nest lined with feathers.
Emerald Lake
A freshwater lake in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, Emerald Lake is located in the Yoho National Park. This park runs along the border of British Columbia and Alberta Provinces and is one of Canada's four contiguous national parks. The other two are Jasper and Kootenay.

The trail is a multi-use path that follows the lake and Singing Creek. It provides excellent lake vistas and is great for families or beginners. There are also backcountry campsites along the trail. The lake has a good population of rainbow trout and Dolly Varden, which grow to four pounds (two kilograms). Despite its large size, the lake is deep and forested, so you can't fly fish from shore.
