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.

Got to enjoy the Takakkaw Falls as the rain stopped for a short while and the low clouds moved through the Yoho Valley in Yoho National Park.
Takakkaw Falls
I was visiting Yoho Valley in Yoho NP, a beautiful place anytime of the year. I was exploring the valley early in the morning, rain had just stopped and the low clouds were still lingering . No visit to the valley would be complete without a visit to see the Takakkaw Falls.
Until next moment,

Takakkaw Falls
I was in Yoho National Park, heading for Takakkaw Falls. The low clouds made the visit that much more interesting. Before I reached the fall, I saw the view of it from the road, with the low clouds and the trees in the foreground. I decided to take the pictures of the fall right there.
Until next moment,

Takakkaw Falls
I was visiting Takakkaw Falls in Yoho National Park, the second highest waterfall in Western Canada. Always find it difficult getting a good picture of it, I never give up. Had to move back as the wind kept blowing the mist toward me. In the end that gave me the picture I wanted.
Until next moment,

Takakkaw Falls
Takakkaw Falls in Yoho National Park was at its best. Second highest waterfall in Canada, at 254 meters. With the melt water and rain making its way to the Yoho Valley at the bottom, it fitted its Cree name "Takakkaw", meaning "it is magnificent".
Until next moment,
