Even on a cloudy day day, the views are still incredible.<\/p><\/div>\n

The distinctly jade green colored lake,\u00a0tinted green by minerals is about 12\u00a0km (7.5\u00a0mi) long and between 1 and 6 km wide, and is home to lake trout, arctic grayling, bull trout and whitefish. Muncho Lake is surrounded by\u00a0Terminal Mountain Range to the west and the Sentinel\u00a0Mountain Range to the east. The tallest mountains reach heights of more than 2,000\u00a0m (6,600\u00a0ft), and lake level is at an elevation of 820\u00a0m (2,690\u00a0ft). Many of the mountains were formed by folded layers of limestone and have broad alluvial fans created by powerful floods.<\/p>\n
