Ran across a pano of Payto Lake when reviewing our Canadian Rockies photos. I had seen a lot of fantastic photos over the years taken from this overlook and always wanted to see it myself but each trip the lookout it was closed for construction. This year it was open so I finally got to see it. I'm not sure if it was my overblown expectations, the fact that we got to see Moraine and Louise lakes from high altitude (for comparison), or the masses of people we had to pass to get there but I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong - the scene is stunning (and we saw it on a bright clear day), it just didn't make the highlight reel for me.

Except for reflections I don't usually care for photos that center the horizon but this one really works for me.

Those labels look like Peakfinder labels.
1. Are they from WEB based Peakfinder?
2. Did you find an easy way to align them with the photo?
I know the peakfinder app has some nice features for alignment but I am too cheap to buy that but I have aligned peakfinder output with photos before and it took a good amount of work.

Hi Bowregard,

Well, no . . . I do look at WEB based Peakfinder and use it some, but find that the drawing isn't always that precise (detailed features are sort of rounded over), and many peaks (especially minor ones known by local names) are not included.
Many peaks are obvious and well known, and easily identified. For the other, not so well known peaks, I try to use several sources to verify their identity. Google Earth and Fatmap are helpful because even though the rendered shapes aren't very accurate, the satellite pictures draped over the contours give a lot of visual clues (like the shapes of meadows and treelines). CalTopo and Peakbagger are very helpful because they have tons of peak names - especially unofficial, locally known ones. Additionally, they have several base map layers that are very helpful for locating features. CalTopo has a line tool that I use to draw sort of sight lines - that I use a lot. SummitPost often has photographs that are very useful for comparing views.

Well, no . . . I use the photoshop shape and line tools to make the dots and lines, then use the text tool to do the names. Manual labor i suppose, but it goes pretty quickly for me now that I am old enough to not be able to move so quickly . . .
Hope that helps!
