Moraine Lake was formed by glacial activity, with its unique color resulting from light refracting off rock flour in the water. The lake is accessible by road, typically open from late May to early October, and features several hiking trails, including the popular Larch Valley Trail. Access can be limited during peak tourist season due to parking restrictions.
