- [Moraine Lake](https://viatravelers.com/places/moraine-lake/) — Moraine Lake's turquoise water peaks in late June — that color is real, it's glacial rock flour, and it's worth rearranging your whole Banff itinerary.
- [Lake Louise](https://viatravelers.com/places/lake-louise/) — That turquoise color isn't a filter — it's rock flour from the Victoria Glacier. Get there before 8am or accept the crowds.
