Sherbrooke Lake, Yoho National Park, BC -- 4K Cinematic

This 3.7 mile (6 km) hike begins at a rather unassuming trailhead beside the highway across from Wapta Lake in Yoho National Park, British Columbia. It doesn’t get the crowds that other hikes in Yoho get, were it better signed. Sherbrooke Lake is a rather sizeable alpine lake tucked into a narrow and steep valley. Getting there takes a gentle uphill stroll through the thick conifer forest. The tree density lessens somewhat as you near the lake, and you’ll hear the creek rushing downhill nearby as you glimpse peaks rising above. Keep an eye out for wildlife like deer and elk, as this is excellent habitat.

Once at the lake, the scale of the landscape becomes really apparent. Across the water, on the other side, the near-vertical cliffs of Mount Ogden form a jagged skyline, and beyond the lake, farther up the valley, even taller peaks make the backdrop. The valley at the lake is surrounded by peaks and streaked by avalanche paths. Take some time to explore the lakeshore, noting the places where massive avalanches have brought debris right down to the water

Amber & I choose this hike on our honeymoon specifically because there are fewer tourists and you don't have to fight for the path. Our "Yoho Day" was likely our favorite while visiting Canada. It's only a short drive from Banff or Canmore, but well worth it! There are plenty of other sites nearby in Yoho National Park, including Takakkaw Falls, Emerald Lake, Hamilton Falls, the Natural Bridge, Spiral Tunnels, and the Rivers Confluence to name a few.

Bring Bear Spray. Exercise Caution! AT YOUR OWN RISK!
