What To Expect
On the Emerald Basin guided hike, you’ll begin with a peaceful walk along the shoreline of stunning Emerald Lake, known for its brilliant turquoise waters and dramatic mountain backdrop. From there, your guide will lead you onto the Emerald Basin Trail, where a steady climb through lush subalpine forest brings you into a secluded alpine amphitheater. Along the way, you’ll learn about the area's unique geology, history, and wildlife. At the basin, you'll have time to relax, enjoy a snack or lunch, and soak in the views of hidden waterfalls and rugged cliffs before heading back. This is a full-day experience designed to connect you with Yoho’s wild beauty in a deeper, more meaningful way.
