Emerald Lake

Emerald Lake lives up to its name in that it is a jewel amongst the attractions of the B.C. Rockies. It wasn't named Emerald Lake because of this though; it is a lake that really is the colour of an emerald. The lake - framed by stunning mountains - has a picture perfect beauty which almost appears too perfect to be real. When there, the lake seems to be the epitome of peaceful isolation, and yet it is easy to reach, as it is located just off the Trans Canada Highway between Lake Louise and Golden.

The Emerald Lake is also very near an old archeological site, with many maritime relics (from the time the Rockies where a sea bottom).
