This is Emerald Lake, that is the natural color of the water. Like many lakes up here the water picks up minerals that give them distintive colour. I climbed way up on the hill side to get this shot of two beauties.
Just back through Canadian customs and once again a couple of questions and away we go. This picture and the next are along the Tagish Highway on the Canadian side.
We spot this waterfall and stop to explore the area. The water is from melting snow and falls about 3000 ft down the mountain. As the snow is melting in the daytime it is also falling up higher on the slopes. We see lots of new snow now. The fireweed is a wild flower that begins to bloom on the stem from the bottom up in spring and tradition says that when the top blooms it is fall. Then the flower shows its seeds and they are white meaning it is time for snow. Looks to us that tradition is right
Got this brave lady to climb way up on the rocks for this photo. The rocks were wet and slippy but she made it OK.
