Emerald Lake, British Columbia

Emerald Lake is located in Yoho National Park, British Columbia. It is the largest of Yoho's 61 lakes and
ponds, as well as one of the park's premier tourist attractions. Emerald Lake Lodge provides a local
accommodation. There is a relatively easy 5.2 km hiking trail circuits the lake. During the summer-
months canoe rentals are available; in the winter, the lake is a popular cross-country skiing destination.
The lake is enclosed by mountains of the President Range, as well as Mount Burgess and Wapta Mountain.
These structural landforms cause frequent rain in summer and heavy snowfalls in winter. This influx of
moisture works with the lake's low elevation to produce a unique selection of flora. Trees found here
are more typical of that of B.C.'s wet interior forests.

神秘的なエメラルド・レイクはエメラルド・グリーンの水が広がる湖。ヨーホ国立公園の中にある。レイク・ロッジ
氷河の堆積物（モレーン）の上に立つ。1902年の写真では、手つかずの自然が残されていたが、今は開発され人が
利用されやすいようになっている。手が加えられたとはいえ、そこには美しい自然と静寂さとを満喫できる場所が
ある。湖を一周するハイキングを予定していたが、到着時に現れたブラック・ベアのために実現できなかったのは
心残りであった。
