    beautiful Alpine Lake

    October 25, 2025

    High in Yoho National Park’s alpine realm, Lake Oesa sits at about 2,267 metres (7,438 ft) and is reachable via a scenic climb from nearby Lake O’Hara. Its name comes from the Stoney word for “corner,” likely referencing how the lake is tucked into a rock-walled niche.
