Parks Canada closed access to the Peyto Lake viewing area for 2-years to complete $2.9 million in upgrades. Now re-opened, the viewpoints has more parking (126 parking and 11 RV spots), new washrooms, enhanced signage and an expanded viewing platform. The objective of the upgrades was to decrease congestion and preserve the ecosystem in the area. Maybe it was due to the expansion or perhaps it was due to the rain, we had no trouble finding a parking spot, enjoying the trail and the viewpoint. Parking is free. A second, upper parking lot is available to tour buses and accessible parking. From this lot there is a 0.3km barrier-free trail leading to the viewpoint.
