emerald lake Archives - Keeping With The Times

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!

We did take a canoe out (and although some of the white stuff from the mountains fell on us, it was amazing ;)

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 …

If you’d care to read more about Emerald Lake, check my post Emerald Lake, British Columbia from last year.

The whole trip was amazing, but our final destination was Emerald Lake, B.C. … what words could I possibly add to this …
View of the cabins …
The following photo shows where an avalanche occurs almost every year …
There is the main lodge Emerald Lake Lodge for dining and warming up by a fire, but our accommodations were an amazing little cabin with no tv, no internet, and no cell service. It was like we were on another planet and was so cozy. Every time we walked up to it, I affectionately referred to it as our little Hobbit Hole … yes … right on the lake.
Looking through a window from the main lodge … goodness, I love B.C. These pots reminded me of some kind of hanging bamboo …… our room!
breakfast is served … From the canoe …

I know … serious photo dump, and I still have more. We walked around the lake and I have a ton of mossy mushroom shots to share … but I’ll leave that for next week :) but, here’s a bit of top-down faffoolery with the flora and fauna I foraged:
