Overview

Hiking to Emerald Lake
This hike features breathtaking views of alpine lakes and towering mountain peaks. The trail takes you through a beautiful forest, with stunning stops at Bear Lake, Nymph Lake, and finally reaching the crystal-clear waters of Emerald Lake. Along the way, you’ll experience a mix of wildflower meadows, cascading streams, and awe-inspiring vistas of the surrounding Rockies.

In the winter and early spring months, the hike to Emerald Lake transforms into a breathtaking winter wonderland. Snow blankets the towering peaks and alpine forests, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. Trekking along a snow-packed trail, you’ll pass frozen Bear Lake and Nymph Lake, where shimmering ice formations add to the landscape’s beauty. Dream Lake offers stunning reflections of the surrounding mountains, while Emerald Lake sits in a dramatic cirque, surrounded by snow-capped cliffs.
