The Emerald Lake Loop is a flat trail that hugs the shore of a turquoise mirror-like lake surrounded by views of mountains, glaciers and various forest types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll cross wooden bridges over streams and watch the views shift from towering mountains to glittering glaciers, with a peaceful section through the woods to mix it up. You will pass an avalanche path that may be daunting during the winter, but your local leader won\u2019t lead you into any danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trip Details <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Difficulty:&nbsp;<\/strong>Easy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance:&nbsp;<\/strong>3.2 miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Duration:&nbsp;<\/strong>1.5 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elevation:<\/strong>&nbsp;400 feet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hike type:&nbsp;<\/strong>Loop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Highlight:<\/strong>&nbsp;Up close and personal to the turquoise, clear lake <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Takakkaw Falls Trail, Yoho National Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Yoho National Park icon is more of a leisurely stroll than a hike, but that doesn\u2019t mean it skimps out on the wow factor. This easy, wheelchair-accessible path leads you straight to the base of Canada\u2019s second-tallest waterfall \u2013 over 1,200 feet (365m) of pure glacier-fed magic. \u201cTakakkaw\u201d means \u201cwonderful\u201d or \u201cmagnificent\u201d in the local Cree language and you\u2019ll understand why once you get misted at the base of this beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Takakkaw Falls is the starting point for many other incredible hikes in the area, so you can take it easy and just go see the waterfall or use it as a launchpad for your next adventure for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trip Details <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Difficulty:&nbsp;<\/strong>Easy&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance:&nbsp;<\/strong>1.3 miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Duration:&nbsp;<\/strong>35 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elevation:<\/strong>&nbsp;300 feet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hike type:&nbsp;<\/strong>Out and back <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Highlight:<\/strong>&nbsp;Second tallest waterfall in Canada <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"ipf-title\">Your next adventure awaits<\/h2><div class=\"product_wrapper ipf-has-title\"><div class=\"product\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;\" data-code=\"SEKW\"><div class=\"product-inner\"><div class=\"product-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipf\/SEKW.jpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/sekw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-name\">Classic Canadian Rockies\t\t\t<\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-footer\"><div class=\"product-footer-left\"><span class=\"product-days\">7 days<\/span><\/div><div class=\"product-footer-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/sekw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-btn\">View trip<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"product\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;\" data-code=\"SSKK\"><div class=\"product-inner\"><div class=\"product-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipf\/SSKK.jpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/sskk\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-name\">Grand Canadian Rockies<\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-footer\"><div class=\"product-footer-left\"><span class=\"product-days\">10 days<\/span><\/div><div class=\"product-footer-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/sskk\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-btn\">View trip<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"product\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;\" data-code=\"SFXR\"><div class=\"product-inner\"><div class=\"product-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipf\/SFXR.jpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/sfxr\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-name\">Hiking in the Canadian Rockies<\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-footer\"><div class=\"product-footer-left\"><span class=\"product-days\">8 days<\/span><\/div><div class=\"product-footer-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/trips\/sfxr\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-btn\">View trip<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roaming the Rockies with Intrepid <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring the Canadian Rockies with Intrepid isn\u2019t just about checking off iconic trails \u2013 it\u2019s about making a positive impact while doing it.
