The whole of Banff National Park and surrounding areas is dotted with splendid little lakes that pair with the Canadian Rockies to offer picture-postcard vistas. This is Mt. Rundle reflected in Vermillion Lake as viewed from an easily accessible spot just a few minutes drive from the center of Banff town. I had done quite a bit of research online about the access to and views from this lake, but seeing it all in person took my breath away. I spent a good hour or more here as the sun slowly set one autumn day and the wind chill made me pull on layer after layer of warm wear.
