Much quieter than Viewpoint 1 on the wonderful turquoise lake. Here are also more chipmunks on the way :-)

Hiking

Just a short hike from the human-built lookout platform, there’s a second viewpoint on Peyto lake. This viewpoint is natural and less crowded, even though the views are just as stunning as those from the first viewpoint.
