Emerald Lake
The beautiful Emerald Lake is the largest lake in Yoho National Park, covering an area of slightly more than one square kilometer. The lake water presents different shades of green under different light conditions, and is known as the "Emerald of the Rocky Mountains." Walking along the lakeside path, you can enjoy the reflections of the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the vigorous pines and cypresses nearby in the rippling blue water.

Natural Bridge
This natural bridge was formed after millions of years of erosion by the Kikinhaus River (also known as the Leaping Horse River). Initially, the river water washed out cracks in the solid rocks, causing the rushing river water to continuously break through the cracks in the rocks, and then gradually hollowed out the huge rocks from the bottom upwards, eventually making a huge rock blocking the river channel washed away into a "natural bridge" shaped like a bridge.

Marble Canyon
Marble Canyon is a popular hike in Kootenay National Park near Lake Louise, Alberta. The hike is an easy 1 mile (1.6 km) out and back trail suitable for all skill levels with fencing along most areas. The trail follows Tokumm Creek which created Marble Canyon by cutting and carving it’s way through the rock. Turquoise, glacial waters, and startling canyon walls grow ever more impressive along this short trail. Multiple bridges span the narrow gorge, crossing several times for spine-tingling views of the river below! Watch for fuchsia fireweed and mountain bluebirds in a landscape shaped by fire, erosion, and mountain building.
