Why is no one talking about this national park?

Banff and Jasper are absolutely beautiful but can be very touristy. Yoho National Park, on the other hand, is much less crowded. There aren’t many easily accessible things to do in Yoho National Park, so it is usually a day trip for most people. And I think the lack of accessibility deters people from visiting. But hey, that’s okay with me! I love being able to experience the beauty of nature in peace, and that is why we made an Yoho National Park itinerary!

Here are some of my favorite things to do:

• At over 1,200 feet tall, Takakkaw Falls is the second tallest waterfall in Canada! “Takakkaw” means magnificent and boy was this waterfall magnificent. The cool thing is you can walk right up to the waterfall via a 1.6-mile hike!

• Only a short distance away from Takakkaw Falls on the Trans-Canada Hwy is the road to Emerald Lake! I am sure you have heard of this beautiful lake because it is another iconic blue/green lake and one of the best things to do in Yoho National Park. There is a short 3.5-mile hike that brings you around the entire lake. It’s a great way to see wildlife since animals are drawn to this source of water. You’ll pass through an avalanche slope where moose tend to graze.

• In the western part of Yoho National Park lies Wapta Falls. Wapta Falls is on Kicking Horse River and comes in at 59 feet tall and 330 feet wide. Since Kicking Horse River is a big river, you will never be disappointed with the power of this waterfall. In terms of water volume, it is the largest waterfall in the park!

Wapta Falls can be reached by a short 3-mile hike if the gate to the recreation center is open.
