Emerald Lake, Canada ❤❤❤❤

Hiking

The Emerald Lake is one of the most beautiful and varied hiking destinations in the Yoho National Park. It was not until 1882 that Emerald Lake happened to be discovered …

Hiking

Beautiful Lake surrounded by rugged mountains. If you're planning to go there in high season, I would recommend to arrive early, as the small parking lot fills fast. We've arrived around 10 a.m. on a July weekend and were lucky to find some of the last parking spots (which actually are none) along the street. If you're not fond of huge selfie-tourist crowds, proceed as fast as you can onto the trail, there it is much more quiet and peaceful :)
