Colorful canoes on Maligne Lake, Alberta, Canada
Paddler's paradise
This motley crew of canoes aren't all that's colourful in this aquatic outpost of Jasper National Park. Fed by glaciers, Maligne Lake boasts a brilliant turquoise tint, at least on days when it isn't reflecting the blues and grays of a partly cloudy Alberta sky. As storms seem to brew above the surrounding Rockies, maybe it's best to leave the boats stowed for now, but under clear skies, Maligne's glassy surface is perfect for paddling.

The Canadian Rockies' largest lake spends the winter iced over, but come the thaw, it's perfect for paddling.
