It was a long weekend holiday in Alberta, so I decided to bring my family for a nature trip in Yoho National Park. It is part of Field, British Columbia and about 2 hours and 45minutes from Calgary Southeast where we live. I have seen pictures and images of the the park particularly Takkakaw Falls and Emerald Lake on the net and I thought it would be the best time to visit the place, I have been living in Calgary for a little more than a decade now but I haven't explored the area yet.
It was a day of fun and laughter with my family and it's been a while since the whole family got together for a short trip. It was indeed a family bonding opportunity.
I was mesmerized the first time I saw the Takkakaw Waterfalls as it is really stunning, wonderful and breathtaking. The rumbling sounds of the falls and the sweet mists coming from it were just ecstatic. We stayed for a bit around the falls to feel and appreciate the beauty of nature, then off we went to the nearby Emerald Lake.
Emerald Lake is as wonderful as its name, its color, and I was told, it is due to the rock flour or the powdered limestone. Emerald Lake Lodge at the other end of the bridge accommodates guests who want to stay a night or two in the area, they have also nice restaurant by the lake offering everyone a nice view.
I can't help but take the opportunity to take pictures of the area. See below.
