The Cobalt Lake Trail climbs through dense forest and steep alpine terrain to a vivid turquoise lake surrounded by glaciers and the towering granite spires of the Bugaboos. Higher sections of the trail become increasingly exposed, with rocky slopes, loose terrain and expansive views across the Purcell Mountains. In late September, golden larch trees add colour to the otherwise rugged alpine landscape.
