Takakkaw Falls
"Takakkaw" means wonderful in Cree, and when you see these falls---Canada's highest at 373 meters (1,224 feet)---there's no question how it got its name. Although an incredible marvel of nature even when viewed from the parking lot, the falls are best experienced at the viewing spot accessed via a short, easy walk, where the roar of the water becomes great and you can feel the water spray your face. On the trail, right before you cross the Yoho River footbridge, take time to sit in Parks Canada's signature red Adirondack chairs.
