On the last day of our road trip trought the Rockies,we wanted to take advantage of our kayaks once again, so we drove to Emerald lake, another popular destination in Yoho.
It was -5 that morning but that didn’t deter us from getting on the water, and thankfully with the sun out, it turned out to be much warmer after a couple hours. It turned out to be a beautiful fall day, and we got to witness first hand why the true emerald colour of the lake.
We enjoyed floating around on the lake for a while, going across to the other side then coming back. There were a lot less rental canoes around than at Moraine, and we found ourselves happily isolated on the water.
It was already passed mid-day when we put the kayaks away, and we wanted to drive back to Revelstoke to spend the night, before heading back to Vancouver the next day. We opted for a chill hike, simply walking the 5k trail that goes all the way around the lake.
