This short but scenic trail leads from the Icefields Parkway to one of the most photographed viewpoints in the Rockies — Peyto Lake. The well-maintained path climbs gradually through subalpine forest before opening onto a wooden viewing platform overlooking the lake’s famous wolf-head shape. It’s a quick, accessible hike suitable for most visitors, though early mornings or evenings offer the best chance to avoid crowds.
