Lower Spiral Tunnels Viewpoint

BC-1, Field, V0A 1G0,

The lower spiral tunnels in Yoho National Park were the ingenious early 20th-century resolve to climbing or descending the impossible 4.5-percent grade to cross Kicking Horse Pass by train. If you are lucky, you can watch long freight trains cross themselves as they travel the tunnels in different directions at the same time.

Emerald Lake

Emerald Lake Road, V0A 1G0

Located in the center of Yoho National Park, Emerald Lake's vivid emerald color is derived from tiny glacial debris particles called rock flour. This lake is unique because of its gorgeous green water. It is impossible to describe the verdant surroundings and snow-capped Rockies as a backdrop. In winter, the lake was largely frozen in ice, and the landscape was blanketed in untouched snow.
