    Emerald Lake is the third of three beautiful alpine lakes if you come from the Bear Lake Trailhead with Nymph Lake being the first and Dream Lake being the second lake. Emerald Lake is surrounded by tall rock walls and a great place to take a break before you head back.

      Beautiful mountain lake with a great green color. There are picnic opportunities on the stones all around. At the end of the valley you can see a waterfall.

        Pure mountain panorama! When the mountains are reflected in the lake, you can appreciate the "size" of the rock faces... you should have seen this lake...
