Emerald Lake Getaway 2016

September 18, 2016 by Barb 9 Comments

We just returned from another stay at the beautiful Emerald Lake Lodge in Yoho National Park, British Columbia.

The pull of the mountains, the colour of the lake, and the cozy rooms complete with fireplace but no tv or wifi, was too much to resist. I tell you, if you want to unplug, there is no better place!

The 5 kilometre walk around the picturesque lake is a must! One side is paved and makes for easy access, and the other side is wet, spongy, and quite filled with roots.

Both sides are absolutely stunning.

Apparently the “wilder” side is a rainforest, and quite unusual for the area …

Still dreaming about it …

    What a beautiful place! The color of that water is just unreal. I love the scenery and the details, too – the raindrops on the grass might be my favorite, but then I’m crazy for water!

    Wow! What a beautiful location…My son and his wife went to Alaska this past summer; the pictures and video’s of the water were unbelievably beautiful and clear. Maybe someday I’ll make it to that area – I’m in the midwest USA.
