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 …

Emerald Lake, British Columbia

The whole trip was amazing, but our final destination was Emerald Lake, B.C. … what words could I possibly add to this …

Keeping With the TimesThere 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.

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:
