Canadian Rockies - Moraine Lake, Wide View from Above

Moraine Lake was the last excursion in our Banff area adventures.  This three-shot panorama is fairly typical, something you'd see on a postcard or brochure.  The incredibly blue water is one of the main attractions; that, along with the pristine air found in the higher elevation, this is a must for those who can make the trip.  And for those who can afford it, there is a nice group of cabins for rent to the right of this frame.  As a fortuitous side, this is where we encountered SNOW for the first and only time while in the area, albeit it was nothing more than a light flurry.

At left you can see the huge piles of scree and moraine, after which the lake was named.  Tomorrow's post will feature a head-on view of that side of the lake.
