Yoho National Park

4.1
World heritage site · Bodies of Water · Waterfalls
Named after the Cree word used to express awe, Yoho National Park encompasses awe-inspiring natural wonders, including tall waterfalls, soaking peaks, and vertical rock walls attracting adrenaline junkies from around the globe. With outstanding hiking and sightseeing opportunities, this park--the smallest of the four in the Canadian Rockies--remains one of the country's least spoiled natural areas. A trip to Yoho National Park allows you to experience true wilderness just a two-hour drive west of Calgary. In the winter, the park is an ideal place to ice climb and ski. Warmer months ensure plenty of chances to camp, hike, bike, kayak, and mountain climb. Plan a Canada trip in moments using our itinerary builder.
