Valley of the Ten Peaks
I sat upon the rock pile admiring the majesty of Moraine Lake for a long time. I was waiting to see if the sky would clear and the wind would subside for a good reflection of The Valley of the Ten Peaks in the gatorade blue water. It didn’t happen, but the power of the elements in action while viewing this wondrous site was just as special. It felt important in my heart.
Yes, the water is that blue. As the glaciers melt, they slide down the mountain side scraping off a sediment that settles at the bottom of the lake and creates a blue reflective film on the surface of the water. The water is cold as to be expected from a glacier fed lake, but it felt good after the hike.
Banff National Park holds its title as the most beautiful place I’ve ever explored in my life.
