2nd Vermilion Lake resembles a mill pond - its partially thawed surface so still and calm one winter evening with reflections of the bright full moon and Mount Rundle on its surface.
The beautiful Vermilion Lakes are situated a very short distance from the town of Banff and are a highlight for any visit to the national park. Wonderful views of Mount Rundle, Tunnel Mountain and the Fairholme Range can be seen from the shores of the three lakes which are separated by wetlands. On a clear, still evening the lakes offer beautiful reflections of the surrounding mountains and landscape.
