Description
On this summer day in Yoho National Park (British Columbia Canada), it was one visual treat piled on top of another! Every mile, every step was more awe-inspiring beauty than you could ever hope to see. Along Yoho Valley Road there are beautiful views of Mount Stephen, shown here by the bridge crossing the Kicking Horse River. Mount Stephen, 3,199 m (10,495 ft), is a landmark mountain 1/2 km east of the town of Field. The mountain was named in 1886 for George Stephen, the first president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks of Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho along with three provincial parks comprise a UNESCO World Heritage site. The seven parks of the Canadian Rockies form a striking mountain landscape. With rugged mountain peaks, icefields and glaciers, alpine meadows, lakes, waterfalls, extensive karst cave systems and deeply incised canyons, the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks possess exceptional natural beauty, attracting millions of visitors annually.
