On the way we will admire Emerald Lake, called "Rainbow Lake” from the locals due to its sensational coloration. We visit Carcross, a charming lakeshore village teeming with First Nations and gold-rush history. On a moderate hiking tour on scenic trails we will be overlooking the grand Southern Lakes.
