Gem Of A Lake.
This was the first in the series of beautiful lakes that we visited on our bus tour of the Rocky Mountains of Canada. It is located in Yoho National Park, about an hour’s ride from the town of Golden on the way to Banff. Our bus stopped here for about an hour and we had sufficient time to take a walk around the pretty lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks.
The colour of the water was a sparkling turquoise green, a colour which we have never seen in any other lake before this. This remarkable colour is believed to be due to the suspended particles of glacial sediment or rock flour which gets into the water when the snows melt in the summers.
Boats and canoes can be hired for a serene ride in the lake. There is an impressive chalet type hotel, The Emerald Lake Lodge perched at the edge of the lake. There was sufficient parking space near the lake and public washrooms as well.
We enjoyed our brief visit and leisurely walk around this stunning lake.
