Visit Yoho National Park, Canada
Yoho National Park is renowned for its overwhelming beauty, and in particular, of Lake O’Hara, Takakkaw Falls and Emerald Lake. The tiny town of Field is the park’s only settlement.
Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park
Yoho National Park is reached from Lake Louise by traversing the aweinspiring Kicking Horse Pass.
The park is named after a Cree word meaning 'wonder' and this is a fitting description for the breathtaking scale of its mountain scenery. Despite its proximity to Lake Louise, Yoho lies on the opposite side of the Continental Divide, entirely within British Columbia.
Burgess Shales
The park is renowned for the Burgess Shales, a very rare sedimentary rock up to 530 million years old, and also for the overwhelming beauty of Lake O’Hara, Takakkaw Falls and Emerald Lake.
Railway line to Field
The tiny town of Field is the park’s only settlement and its history is intrinsically entwined with the early days when the spectacular landscape was conquered by rail, built through magnificent feats of engineering such as the famous Spiral Tunnels.
