There are no words to describe how peaceful and clear this lake is... you just have to stop and stare for a few minutes...or hours. 

View this picture upside down to see what I mean! 

The lake is surrounded by massive, rugged mountains that will leave you in awe for days! Wapta Mountain and Mount Burgess are a few that you can spot in this beautiful valley.

There are several openings/lookout points that offer amazing views of the lake, each from a different angle, exposing various shades of Emerald! 

Emerald Lake Lodge sits right on the edge of the lake and is absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway, anytime of the year! 

On the road to Emerald Lake lies another another beautiful spot that I'll cover in the next blog post! 

Stay wanderful!
