The reflection of the snow-capped Mount Ebert off these mirrored glacial lakes is almost too beautiful to believe. Although many people wind up here after visiting the historic village or camping in the nearby parks, others come for the opportunity to kayak, paddleboard, and even swim in these majestic bodies of water. While they are glacial, these lakes can be quite comfortable in the summer, especially after they are warmed up by the sun throughout the day.
