Set beneath glaciers and the jagged granite peaks of the Bugaboos, Cobalt Lake is known for its striking blue colour created by glacial silt suspended in the water. The alpine lake sits in a rugged basin surrounded by steep rock walls, lingering snowfields and scattered larch trees, with reflections of the surrounding peaks often visible on calmer days.
