Reached via the Scarab Lake Trail in Banff National Park, this alpine lake sits beneath steep cliffs in a glacially carved valley. The area offers wide-open mountain views and a striking mix of colours when the light hits the turquoise water and surrounding rock. Fun fact: the lake and nearby peaks were named in 1916 for their resemblance to ancient Egyptian imagery.
