Straddling the Trans-Canada Highway, the Yoho National Park is tucked away amidst the western slopes of the famous Canadian Rocky Mountains. Forming part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, this remarkably scenic park features sparkling lakes, cascading waterfalls, and majestic mountains in southeastern British Columbia. The Cree word 'Yoho' means 'awe and wonder', which perfectly sums up what visitors will experience at every turn. Stop by the little settlement of Field; view the glacier-fed, ice-blue Kicking Horse River crowned by Wapta Falls and the magnificent Takakkaw Falls; discover the spectacular turquoise-coloured Emerald Lake, and soak up the endlessly captivating views of this dramatic landscape. For adventure seekers and nature lovers, activities such as hiking, camping, kayaking, whitewater rafting, and cross-country skiing are plentiful. Neighbouring parks include the incredibly scenic Kootenay National Park to the south and Banff National Park to the east.
