Moraine Lake in Banff National Park is one if not the most popular lake in Canada and the very typical landmark for Banff.
The popularity for this place has multiplied during the last years, especially for photographers because of the extremely beautiful lake view towards the mountains in the background. The best timing is probably during sunrise when the first rays will illuminate the top parts of the mountains in beautiful red and orange colors.

#1 IS MORAINE LAKE STILL FROZEN?,More info:blog.buzzbishop
On the opening weekend of the Moraine Lake Rd, tourists were greeted by a very shallow water level in the lake awaiting melt from the mountains to fill it up to its pristine greenness.
The pre-spring runoff levels meant the lake bottom was accessible to tourists making the lake appear still frozen at the end of May. What water is in the lake has a thin frosty crust on it, but there’s enough of a snow pack to wander around.
