Looking Northeast from the south side of the appropriately named Emerald lake. Various peaks along the President range of the Waputik mountains may be seen. Looking south across Emerald lake towards Mount Burgess which is reflected in the rippled water. The view from the south side of Emerald lake showing the avalanche zone of Emerald peak, which was still closed due to avalanche risk at the time. Looking north from Emerald lake shows the vast avalanche field and flood plains that feeds the lake. Carmar peak, Mt Marpole, and the ridge leading up to the President sit in the background.

Looking down from the rear bowl of the hoodoos. The edges of the trail may be seen undergoind the undercutting that is a part of the evolution of hoodoos. An upstream view of Hoodoo creek taken from the walking bridge. Mountains may be seen in the distance. The view up at the hoodoos from the lower trail terminus. Trees grow in the more stable sections of the hill. This section of the lower hoodoos trail was very degraded, with atleast one foothold wedged into the slide.
