Description
Moraine Lake features on many postcards of the Canadian Rockies, and the crystal clear, deep blue glacial waters of the lake are truly dazzling. Surrounded by the snow-capped Wenkchemna Peaks, the lake was created by a rock slide from a mountain on the northeast end. Looming above the lodge at the lake is Mount Temple, the third tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Numerous trails depart from the lake, and you can rent canoes from the boat dock.
