Day Three
We had a lazy morning, but eventually decided to drive to Emerald Lake, which is located in the Yoho National Park. The parking lot wasn't very big, but I was able to pull in behind a row of RVs (near the bridge to the lodge). As soon as I got out of the RV, there was a rumble of thunder and it began to rain pretty heavily. I snapped a few photos and ran back to the RV. We had heard that the lake is the most beautiful in the Canadian Rockies, and it might well be, but it was difficult to tell due to the weather.
We drove back the way we came and stopped at the Natural Bridge. The rain had let up, so we were able to walk around a little bit, taking in the views. Heading back to Golden, we decided to stop at Finn Creek and have a picnic lunch. There was plenty of parking and we enjoyed watching the water while we relaxed.
The day's drive on Trans-Canada Hwy 1 was slow due to construction along Kicking Horse Canyon, which recently had a $451M upgrade for that treacherous stretch of highway in B.C. I found this article fascinating, as it was quite breathtaking (and a little nerve-wracking!) to drive across this section of the highway in an RV!
