Yoho National Park Of Canada
Admission includedStanding at the edge of Yoho National Park Of Canada, you feel the scale of the Rockies in a way that maps never quite convey. Turquoise meltwater rushes through valleys carved over millennia, and peaks rise so sharply they seem to lean over the road. Based near the small mountain community of Field, British Columbia, Yoho National Park Of Canada rewards those who slow down long enough to notice the details: a fossil pressed into limestone, the roar of Takakkaw Falls carried on a cool pine-scented breeze.
