Sherbrooke Lake

About the Hike:

You will require a vehicle to meet me at these trailheads. 

This family-friendly hike offers a wonderful introduction to Rocky Mountain hiking. Experience the serenity and beauty of a turquoise alpine lake after a moderate traverse through a wildlife corridor and lush green forests.

The adventure takes us on a steady incline through the enchanting forests of Yoho National Park.

After a gentle climb through serene forests, we will arrive at the crystal-clear turquoise waters of Sherbrooke Lake, Yoho’s best-kept secret!

Sherbrooke Lake offers a tranquil and peaceful retreat, unlike the bustling Moraine Lake and Lake Louise.
