Moraine Lake on a rainy day. (On a sunny day you can see 10 mountain peaks, the same scene that appears on the back of a Canadian $20 bill.)

Moraine Lake is one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever been. In spite of a terrible run of bad weather, we were lucky to see it on a clear day. What a wonder. And the color of the water! You don’t believe it’s real when you see the pictures, and yet, it is!

We too were shocked at the color of the water of both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. Even though it rained is was still phenomenal (and maybe even provided a better contrast!)
