Travel guide of Emerald Lake Trail
Our tour across the Rockies had taken us far across British Columbia and Alberta. On day three we set out in thick fog and pouring rain. The plan was to strike out for Lake Louise and Emerald Lake in the hope the sun might show up. Luck was on our side, we left the bad weather behind us and were treated to the stunning trademark views everyone has come to expect of Canada.
On a day trip out to Yoho National park to see Takkakaw Falls I drove across this bridge, and as I was approaching it I knew I'd have to get out and get a photo because of how awesome it is. I just feel like it really works with the mountain, it's got a great aesthetic to me.
We started hiking the Iceline trail with every intention of finishing it, but the weather had other plans. Rain, hails, snow - the further we hiked along the exposed and rugged trail, the more unpredictable the weather got. So we decided to turn back and cut off the trail to head to Yoho Lake instead. Taking cover under the massive pine trees, the rain slowly tapered off until it stopped all together leaving the lake with a glasslike surface that allowed not only for reflections of the trees and mountain, but all of our thoughts as well. “Model” - @dannykashh
The raging Yoho River in Yoho National Park, British Columbia. This river was incredibly loud, and it wasn't until halfway through my shooting that I realised if a bear was behind me... I would have had no idea haha!
This photo was taken on a moody day not far from Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park. The low-level clouds give this scene a nice, mysterious vibe.

We went out for a little hike in Canada, BC and found this beautiful spot. The snow on the ice was untouched, everything about this afternoon was unreal.

Wapta Mountain as seen from the base of Takkakaw Falls in British Columbia, Canada. Takkakaw Falls has a height of 373 metres (1,224 ft), whcih makes it the second tallest waterfall in Canada. The river it feeds runs through Yoho national park and like the rest of the glacial waters, it carries the same incredibly turqouise-green colour.

As we were driving through Banff national park, we happened upon this small lake early in the morning. The mist was just burning off and the waters were so calm, they provided the perfect surface for a stunning reflection of the tree line.

This was taken near the Lake Agnes Tea house where me and my friend hiked too. We had lunch at the tea house and I thought that this would make for a beautiful photo. I loved that the snow hadn’t fully melted and that the lake is still largely frozen over even in late May.

Walking up the trail that runs alongside Lake Louise and up to Lake Agnes. Not only does the shape of the path guide you, the light does too. Canada is beautiful, and even something as simple as walking through a forest can be such a picturesque thing.

Some nice early sunset tones hittingThe Big Beehive mountain as it looks down onto Mirror Lake (you can see why it got its name!) in Banff, Canada.

When we arrived at Lake Louise for our first adventure in Canada’s Banff National Park, we were stunned by its beautiful color and the craggy mountains it was nestled between. As we hiked up for increasingly stunning views, we were able to catch glimpses of the lake. This shot shows Mirror Lake (foreground) and Lake Louise (background).

The most beautiful summer day in Banff, Alberta, spent with my childhood friend of 17 years. There’s really no place like Lake Louise with its pristine blue waters, crisp mountain air and bright summer sun.

We hiked to capture this gorgeous lake that looks like a Fox. It drizzled on our way up top and then the sun pop out, which made it pretty great with the rainbow.

This is Lake Louise, and it's iconic emerald blue waters. In the middle left of the image you can see the Big Beehive which is an intense, but incredibly rewarding hike!

The iconic Lake Louise taken from on top of the Big Beehive. This hike took roughly 3 hours but it was incredibly worth it, the views are breathtaking. You can also see the brief snow spell we had passing through in the background.

I have NEVER seen this blue in my life. It was the most surreal thing, like the colour of Gatorade, a thirst quencher which I was longing for after quite the hike to reach this point. All I could do was look up in awe and wonder at the mesmorizing panorama of mountains that surrounded us for miles.

Finally got up to a peak in Lake Moraine, and waited out the first flurry of the season. Sometimes all you need to do is look up. Break the habit of keeping your head down and low.

This is Mount Fay, one of the ten peaks surrounding the spectacular Lake Moraine in Banff, Alberta, Canada. This was my first time there and won’t be my last! Any Canadian old enough to remember $20 bills issued in the 60s/70s will recognize this mountain range, which was printed on the back of the bill. While most people take extremely wide angle shots at this location to capture the lake and all the peaks, I found this one peak interesting enough to narrow in on. I love all the little details in the rock and the ridges of snow.
