Today started out nice with clear skies and mostly sunny. Our plan is to drive back into Yoho National Park, and visit Takakkaw Falls, the Natural Bridge and Emerald Lake.

After breakfast, we walked out the door to the hotel and were met with this lovely image! It certainly looked like we were in for a nice day.

We headed out the Trans-Canada Highway and crossed into BC. It wasn’t long before we came upon the road to Takakkaw Falls. Below is a video of the final stretch of road.

We explored the area for a bit, and then walked up towards the falls.

Below is a video of the falls and the river that flows from it.

Heading back down the road, I shot this video, which clearly shows why they don’t allow trailers or RVs on this road.

We got back on the highway, and continued west for a short distance, and came across the road to Emerald Lake. The first stop was at the Natural Bridge, which a long time ago, was once a waterfall, which has since carved a hole in the rock allowing the water to flow through the rock, creating what looks like a natural bridge.

The video below, shot from above the bridge, appears as though it is a river flowing into a large hole.

This video, shot from below the bridge, makes it clear why it’s called the Natural Bridge.

After exploring the bridge from all sides and a variety of angles, we continued up the road to Emerald Lake to have a look around. It’s no surprise why they named it “Emerald Lake”.

We walked around this pretty lake for a while. These purple wildflowers were very abundant.

Returning to Lake Louise, we had dinner reservations at the Station Restaurant, which is one of our favourite spots to eat in Lake Louise. As the name suggests, the restaurant is in the old CP railway station.

After dinner, we returned to the hotel, and enjoyed the newly renovated and under-utilized guest lounge. It’s a nice quiet place to sit and relax, with a nice view to the lobby below.
