There is an exclusive lodge at Emerald Lake, 300-700/night in season, and they have this lovely restaurant to distract the tourists from going any further. Most don't.

Every so often civilization rears its head in the wilderness, and we are grateful for it. This bridge crosses the head of the Emerald River. The Lady Isabelle has planned well for the trip, and heads off across the bridge (she's the one in blue) under her umbrella. She perhaps thinks that her spouse is done taking his picture, or perhaps she just doesn't care. In any case, he does not have an umbrella. Tough.

Patches of sunlight dapple Emeral Lake and illume the forest as a rain shower passes to the east above Michael Peak (2606m / 8843ft). At the top of the lake, a creek tumbles down into the Emerald Basin.

Just another pretty face... Emerald Lake, Michael Peak, rain. It was our first day in the park; we weren't quite as assertive about walking in the rain as we might have been later.
