Dreaming of the Most Beautiful Lakes in the World!
Oh the places we’ll go when we’re freed from our homes! As for me, I’m dreaming of the most beautiful lakes in the world – and they’re found in the Canadian Rockies! Don’t believe me? Let me show you!
We’ll start in Banff with Vermillion Lakes where you’ll see the mountains reflected in its quiet waters.
We’ll head north where you’ll fall in love with Lake Louise, perhaps the most famous of them all!
Right next door is Moraine Lake which might become your new favorite.
But don’t make the decision hastily as the next two beauties will take your breath away!
Bow Lake
Peyto Lake
Leaving the crowds behind we’ll head to Jasper National Park and soak up the solitude at Medicine Lake
and Maligne Lake.
See what I mean? I can hardly wait to return to the most beautiful lakes in the world!

Lovely place….
Yes, a very special place! 😊
We do actually have some very beautiful lakes in Britain too.

Best wishes, Pete.
Yes indeed! Such a lovely area! There really are so many beautiful lakes in the world – I wish I had time to see them all!
What I noticed when reviewing my pictures for this post was how many of these Canadian lakes show up on the ‘world’s best’ lists. In particular Lake Louise, Moraine, Peyto, and Maligne are often included -(though my pictures of Maligne don’t do it justice ) and having so many beautiful lakes in a mountain setting make it a special place to visit.
We have been to a number of those lakes and they truly are beautiful, nestled in their mountain valleys.
Thanks for your comment. To me, they really are some of the most beautiful lakes in the world, especially with the striking turquoise colors and surrounding mountains.
They certainly are. I hope you can visit them soon
Maybe this fall we can do a return trip. We’ve been there several times before but reviewing my photos from the last trip whet my appetite for another!
An absolutely gorgeous part of the world!
It really is! So very beautiful! 🙂
Oh my word, you could get rich selling 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles from these photos! Amazing how beautiful the lakes are!
They are truly beautiful!! Not so sure I could ever put that kind of puzzle together though! 😄
To be honest I think my days of 1,000 piece puzzles are over! Not sure I still have the patience😋
One of my favorite memories was diving into both Glacier Lake and Lake Superior one summer trip mostly just to accept a dare. I will admit each was unbelievably cold! Much better to look at pictures of lakes.
I have wonderful memories of swimming in shallow local lakes warmed by the sun. These glacier fed ones are in a whole different category!
No kidding. I can’t believe I ever jumped into them.
Swimming in Puget Sound can be icy cold… did that a few times!
I did too. I think we must have tolerated cold better once.
Everything seemed to work better when we were young!! 🙂 🙂
No kidding.
Wow, just beautiful!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Hello.
I agree with you – fantastic beautiful! In my country we have 187 888 lakes, but I have not seen them all! 🙂
Have a wonderful day!
Thanks so much! That’s a lot of lakes! I’m sure they are beautiful too! 🙂
OMG, such beautiful pictures! I would so love to go there, maybe one day…it has been on the bucket list for a while.
Thanks so much! I hope you get to see them! 🙂
