The tiny mountain community of Field is nestled on the banks of the Kicking Horse River at the foot of Mount Stephen in the heart of Yoho National Park, between the park's western boundary and Kicking Horse Pass. Emerald Lake, one of the jewels of Yoho National Park, is surrounded by a forest of Engelmann spruce as well as by some of the park's highest peaks. Covered by ice for most of the year, Emerald Lake comes alive with activity for a few short months in summer as hikers, canoeists, and horseback riders take advantage of the magnificent surrounds. 

The much loved Emerald Lake Trail leads around the lake, on which the faces of surrounding peaks and glaciers are reflected in stunning detail, then climbs steeply through Douglas fir and western red cedar into the open alpine zone. As the trail approaches Emerald Peak, there are grand views of a hanging glacier on the limestone flanks of the peak.
