Walks and Day Hikes at Emerald Lake - Yoho National Park Hiking Guide with Pictures and Maps.
Activities here range from iced tea sipping to kayaking, horseback riding and hiking.
The main hikes are covered below. Consider a stop on the way up at the Natural Bridge where the Kicking Horse River has carved itself an interesting gulley. Of the two hanging valleys with trails from Emerald Lake, this one has the lake. The route up passes Hamilton Falls tucked into a narrow gorge. There are no other scenic diversions until the steep climb sees you emerge into the cirque.
