Jan and Carl at Takakkaw
(pronounced /ˈtækəkɔː/) Waterfall in Yoho National Forest. It falls 833 feet and is fed by and ice field and Daly Glacier at the top of the mountain range. "
Takakkaw Falls is the second highest waterfall in Canada. Takakkaw means "magnificent" in Cree. And it is. We love how the top of it "blasts" off a ledge and down over a thousand feet to finally hit the bottom. Very powerful. Obviously, this is popular with the tourists, so you won't be alone. But it didn't seem really "too" busy when we were there, and you can essentially walk right up the embankment to the base of the falls (getting a bit wet in the process)."
Natural Bridge Waterfall on the Kicking Horse River in the Yoho National Forest used to flow over the rocks, but over time it ate its way through and flows under the top of the rock formation.
Another picture of the Tawkakkaw Falls taken from about 100 yards away.
