In-Depth Information
Canada Highway bisects the park. Kootenay National Park lies immediately to the south,
while Banff National Park (Alberta) borders Yoho to the east. The park's only watershed
is that of the Kicking Horse River, which is fed by the Wapta and Waputik Icefields. The
Kicking Horse, wide and braided for much of its course through the park, flows westward,
joining the mighty Columbia River at Golden.
Yoho is the smallest of the four contiguous Canadian Rockies national parks, but its wild
and rugged landscape holds spectacular waterfalls, extensive ice fields, a lake to rival those
in Banff, and one of the world's most intriguing fossil beds. In addition, you'll find some of
the finest hiking in all of Canada on the park's 300-kilometer (186-mile) trail system.
