Itinerary description

Easy trail around the lake, but quite tricky up the Yoho pass.
At some point there is a creek crossing without a bridge... and believe me, the water is freezing cold right from the melted snow up the hill. Also a couple of places where you would need good boots not the get wet.
Otherwise nice views from the top to the lake and surrounding mountains and some nice waterfalls on the way
