Just 40 minutes outside the elegance of Paris, there’s a place where dragons sleep under castles, pirates sail through glowing caves, and you might just bump into a mouse wearing red shorts and yellow shoes. No, this isn’t a hallucination brought on by too much fromage—this is Disneyland Paris, and it’s every bit as magical as it sounds.

There are beautiful lakes. There are stunning lakes. And then there’s Moraine Lake—a lake so electric in color, it feels like nature broke out the neon paint. Nestled in the heart of Banff National Park, deep within the Valley of the Ten Peaks, this glacial masterpiece doesn’t just belong on postcards—it *is* the postcard.
