 |
| Emerald Lake |
 |
| Emerald Lake was our best Canadian Rockies lake experience All the glacier fed lakes have that beautiful turquoise color if you catch them in the right light. Under some conditions they're not that impressive, but when the light is right the lakes are gorgeous. |
 |
| The water looked so inviting We bought a Canadian flag towel at the gift shop so Adam and I could go for a swim. |
 |
| It was cold! |
 |
| It took awhile, but Adam finally went under |

 |
| Natural Bridge |
 |
| In Yoho there's lots of information about the Spiral Tunnels used to slow trains down on the steep grades |
 |
| It's neat to see when rivers meet, especially when there's contrasting colors like the white milky color of the Yoho contrasting with the bright turquoise of the Kicking Horse |
 |
| Takakkaw Falls |
 |
| You can hike right up to the falls where you can see, hear, and feel the power...and get soaked Travel is often unglamorous and a pain. But if you don't make the effort then you miss out on experiences like this. We all agreed Takakkaw Falls was one of those "gem" experiences that remind us why we make the effort. |

| Laughing as we run and try to find somewhere to dry out |

 |
| We saw this ice patch on the way to Takakkaw Falls and stopped to play on the way back |
