First thing that came to mind when viewing this picture was “blue lagoon”. Truth be told, this is not a lagoon, but a lake (but it sounds cool). Barrier Lake is its name. A lagoon would typically be found by an ocean or sea, this lake is nowhere’s near the ocean. This lake is located inside Kananaskis country, Alberta. Approximately ten minutes south of the trans Canada highway number 1, easily accessible, therefore a busy and popular place to visit. A gorgeous first leg of the Prairie view hike. The actual trailhead itself is located about fifteen minutes from this viewpoint. Due to the location of the lake, in relation to the surrounding mountains, this particular spot is quite windy. Much windier than the Prairie view summit actually, which does seem odd, but that is a fact.
