9. Moraine Lake is a mountain lake located in Canada, which can only be accessed from June to
September, since the road is blocked by snow the rest of the year.

Moraine Lake, with a total area of half a square kilometer, is fed thanks to a glacier. Therefore, it
reaches its maximum level during the second half of the month of June. Without a doubt, one of the
main attractions of this lake is its beautiful blue color, which is quite common in the lakes of the
area, known as Icefields Parkway. This beautiful hue arises from the refraction of the light that
causes the rock dust deposited from the mountains. Although seeing it closely is a real wonder, the
truth is that it is worth observing the lake from the high rocks. Around the lake there are several
hiking trails that are sometimes closed due to grizzly bears.

hostile, raw and wild. That is exactly the reason why this region contains so many natural wonders

like another world.
