Description
As if Takakkaw Falls weren't beautiful enough, the Yoho River flows nearby to complete the idyllic scene. On a sunny summer day, it doesn't get much better than this! The Yoho River is considered to be a tributary of the Kicking Horse River in the Canadian province of British Columbia. But when it joins the Kicking Horse River several kilometers south of this point, the Yoho River is actually the larger of the two. The river is entirely within Yoho National Park. Yoho National Park (established in 1886) is aptly named after the Cree word meaning "awe." Situated in the Rocky Mountains, Yoho has Banff and Kootenay national parks as its eastern and southern boundaries. Yoho, Jasper, Banff and Kootenay national parks as well as Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber provincial parks make up the Canadian Rocky Mountains World Heritage Site. This World Heritage Site is the largest protected area in the Rockies, and among the largest in the world.
