Dining in Emerald Lake
Dine at beautiful Emerald Lake, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains.

Whether your days at Emerald Lake Lodge are spent adventuring in the mountains or curled up beside a roaring fire, the dishes served in the dining room are designed to nourish and comfort you during what promises to be a memorable stay.
