Tzela Lake ~ Strathcona Park

The stunning turquoise waters of Tzela Lake shine like a jewel amid the rugged mountains of Strathcona Park 🩡

Almost candy-like in tone (rocket freezies?), the lake gets its creamy blue colour from β€œrock flour”, fine glacial silt suspended in meltwater.

Flanked by The Red Pillar and perched at 1,100 metres, the lake sits deep within the park. Be prepared for a long and challenging hike if you plan to visit. Getting a fly-by view was certainly the easier route! πŸ›©οΈ
