Immersing in nature. Yoho National Park

Today, we’re taking in the scenic vistas of Emerald Lake in British Columbia’s Yoho National Park. This gem in the wilderness is a major tourist attraction and is the largest lake in the park. Not too far from the TransCanada Highway, Emerald Lake is easily accessible and attracts several tourists all through summer. It was discovered in 1882 by guide Tom Wilson, who accidentally stumbled upon the lake by gathering horses that had gotten away.
