The weather was unsettled so we took off fairly late to do a short hike up an old fire service road to a lookout over Bow Lake. The beginning of the walk is another tourist attraction with a paved path to a viewpoint of Peyto Lake. One tourist described the colour of Peyto Lake as that of a mint milkshake. After the viewpoint, another paved path, which is part of an interpretive loop, takes you to the old road. The tourists essentially vanish at this point and we had the road to ourselves. Once we were at the end of the trail, a few people came up but it started to pour rain so we headed back down. This was not a stellar walk, but good for a rainy day and good short hike to allow our legs to recover from yesterday's 22 km hike.
