The Valley of the Ten Peaks

The Valley of the Ten Peaks is a group of 10 mountains that are located on the continental divide rising above Moraine Lake. The peaks appeared on the reverse side of the 1970 and 1978 Canadian 20 dollar bill and on a 2 Mountcent  stamp.Probably the most photographed scene in Canada, Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks was once featured on the back of the Canadian $10 bill. Tourists by the hundreds of thousands visit here every year. To reach the lake, there’s a 14 km winding mountain road from the village of Lake Louise. It’s best to photograph it in the early morning since the mountains face east. The road is open from about late April to October.
