Rocky Mountain Water | Emerald Lake.

Emerald Lake is the most famous attraction in Yoho National Park, Canada. Although it is only about half an hour's drive from Lake Louise, it has already crossed from Alberta to BC. Parking spaces are hard to find at popular attractions. If you see a parking space on the side of the road, park your car immediately. Don't expect to find a parking space in the parking lot. The parking lot is basically occupied by tour buses and RVs. Emerald Lake is also emerald green, but it is a bit different from the green of Moraine Lake. Moraine Lake is green and transparent, and the green of Emerald Lake has a bit of milky white in it, as if milk was poured into the water. Speaking of it, the water of Kicking Horse in YOHO is also milky white. It is estimated that the water is rich in white minerals, calcium? Cross the parking lot, cross the bridge and there is a restaurant, Cilantro On The Lake. In addition to meals, it also offers a lot of cocktails, which are colorful and look good. I didn't go to taste it because I was driving and my stomach was not feeling well recently. Next time, I will wait for a position on the lakeside terrace and order a cocktail to try. However, it is estimated that the terrace position is not easy to wait for. Several couples in front of me heard that there was no terrace position and turned around and left. It is 5 kilometers to walk around the lake, or you can rent a boat to row around. The boat rental here is much cheaper than Moraine Lake, 100 per hour. The trail head to Hamilton Falls is a bit south of the parking lot. When I went in August, a big tree fell on the road and blocked the road. I had to walk around in the woods. Apart from this, the trail is still in good condition. If you only go to the waterfall, the road is quite close, and it is less than two kilometers back and forth. The waterfall is average and not spectacular. This trail can continue to go up, go to Hamilton Lake, the round trip is almost 10 kilometers, it takes almost 5 hours to walk, come over early next time, you can walk this trail. Tips: 1. Parking: parking lot + roadside parking, the parking lot is very small, just park directly on the roadside 2. Bathroom: There are multiple 3. Dining: Cilantro On The Lake 4. Accommodation: Emerald Lake Lodge, the price is quite expensive during the peak season, 5. Play: boating (boat rental, 100 per hour), hiking
