Yoho National Park Must-Sees

Yoho National Park, situated on the western slopes of the Canadian Rockies, is defined by dramatic geological formations and the turquoise waters of the Kicking Horse River. This collection features Takakkaw Falls, one of Canada's highest waterfalls, and the fossil-rich landscapes of the Burgess Shale region. From the rock-carved Natural Bridge to the restricted-access alpine basin of Lake O'Hara, these sites showcase the park’s vertical terrain and the powerful glacial erosion that has shaped the British Columbia mountain landscape.

Peaks and Glaciers

This collection highlights the high-altitude terrain of Yoho National Park and the Continental Divide. It features Mount Victoria, a 3,464-metre peak on the British Columbia-Alberta border, and the historic site of the Abbot Pass Hut. The list focuses on the extensive Wapta and Waputik Icefields, which feed iconic landmarks like Takakkaw Falls via the Daly Glacier. These glacial systems, including the Yoho and Victoria glaciers, represent the dramatic geological processes that shaped the Canadian Rockies' alpine landscape.

Camping and Recreation Spots

Yoho National Park’s camping options range from accessible front-country sites like Kicking Horse to remote backcountry locations along the Iceline and Rockwall trails. These sites provide direct access to the 254-meter Takakkaw Falls, the limestone formations of Hoodoo Creek, and the restricted Lake O’Hara region, which requires advanced bus reservations. The area features a mix of serviced campgrounds with showers and primitive wilderness sites equipped with bear lockers.
