Yoho Valley in Yoho National Park is a very cool place to go. A few years ago, I was able to cover all the trails, enjoying all the falls I came across or could see from or near the tails. Takakkaw Falls is the most popular one by far. Helped with the falls being a short walk from the parking lot. The falls have a total height of 373 meters, making it the second tallest waterfall in Canada. “Takakkaw” means “magnificent” in Cree. No matter, if you are looking at it up close with the water spray hitting your face or across the valley from the Iceline Trail, it is magnificent. Unless I’m in the parking lot early in the morning, I tend to watch it from a distance. Zooming in and out with the camera to get the picture. The falls are fed by the Waputik Icefield throughout the summer, but if you want to see them in their peak conditions. You must visit the area in late spring when there is heavy snow melt.
