Did daytrip to Yoho 2 weeks ago from Banff. Parking at Emerald Lake packed out in morning so returned to Natural Bridge as passed on road to Emerald Lake. Following that drove onto Wapta Falls, must climb the ridge at base of falls for spectacular view but be prepared to get very wet. Note there is no right turn from interstate to Wapta Falls trail road, need to go past to find crossing point to eastbound carriageway. After that returned to Emerald Lake where it was much quieter, took 2 hour walk around the lake which was both interesting enchanting, path for first half going clockwise then muddy trail for rest of circuit. Finished day with visit to Takakka Falls, a fitting end to our visit.
Those views are ridiculously stunning!! Wow. I only recently learned about this National Park. I was already familiar with Banff but Yoho is another absolutely gorgeous place to visit! Thank you so much for this very breathtaking and very informative upload! 😍👍🌲🌲🌲
What can I say...other than totally awesome, we have a trip planned for next September and will definitely be including this national park in it...thanks for the great video.
I really enjoyed your video and all the useful information you provided for people like me who wants to plan well before going to the area. You have captured the beauty of those places well. Amazing... Thank you!
I am so glad you liked it, thanks for watching. I have videos on Banff and jasper as well if you’d like to see :) if you’re planning a trip you should definitely combine all 3 parks!
Only the park entrance is required, they're all in the park. If you do Lake O'Hara the shuttle prices are separate, but otherwise, every location is included on the park pass
Awesome video. I'll use this as a guide for sites to visit later this year. Also, what camera did you use throughout this video, really nice color throughout the vid.
Most of this was filmed in August! But there’s some footage from other trips that was July and even September. October will be nice, colder and maybe some snow but I think you will probably get some awesome fall foliage!
I enjoyed your video - thank you!! I'm in the preliminary phase of planning a trip in September 2023 and had not considered YoHo until now. Can you share what type of lenses you find useful on your hikes? One looks like a 70-200...what about your wide angle? I have several to chose from but don't think I need to carry them all.
100%. The Canadian Rockies are very accessible and while there are a ton of hiking trails, there’s so much to see without hiking. I have videos on Jasper and Banff as well! Great road trip to do all of these parks together
I absolutely love this video and all your other Canadian Rockies collection!! I have watched them many times and planned many hikes w my family after watching them. Please keep posting more. Have you done other provincial parks Mt Assiniboine, Mt Robson , Grey wells, Joffre lakes, Squamish, Whistler and areas? Waiting for all those.
You missed the 2 most spectacular hikes: 1. Iceline trail where you can see Takkakaw Falls from above and 2. Yoho Pass and Wapta highline that takes you from Takkakaw falls all the way to Emerald lake.
@kevin Eassa Hello from Los Cabos, Mexico. How difficult are these trails in the the last week of April? And, which trails would be the easiest for medium experience hikers? We have plans to go on that date. Thanks, your video is amazing!
There are a handful of these that require minimal hiking. You’re probably mostly good in the end of April, but I’d recommend bringing Kahtoola Microspikes. Also I have videos on Banff and Jasper national park which includes a ton of other locations in the area that don’t require long hikes! Hope this hella
Many thanks for the video。 Could you let me know which of these spots are relatively convenient, say assessible with easy walking less than or around 1km after parking？ i hope i can vIsit them this Summer。
You can definitely visit these in order, but any order works! Sometimes what we’ll do is Pin these location on our Google Maps, or our Google My Maps and then you can see where they all are in relation to eachother. And that will help!
I think so, slow and steady is the way to do it! The majority of the trail is flat and nicely tracked. It isn’t until the last 200ish feet at the viewpoint where there is steep sections. Hiking poles are great too and just watching your footing on that last part
This is an excellent video and information tool!!! I am planning on going there this year. I have 2 questions I hope you can answer. 1. What is the best time of year from a photo perspective? 2. How feasible and accessible is Lake O'Hara, Emerald Lake, and Tawakka Falls in May? Thanks very much, Jim
In my opinion the best time of year for photography is the second half of September. As you will get fall colors showing beautiful yellow larches, but there will also likely be snow at higher altitudes, making for some beautiful dynamic scenes. Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls are easy to visit year round. Lake O'Hara, I'm not so sure. I hope this helps
ahhh it looks amazing but I haven't gotten a chance to do that one sadly. I only want to include places I know very well, have hiked myself, and have footage for
That is a good question, I’m not sure but that is an awesome idea if they allow it! I bet the visitor center or park website would have a clearer answer
@@KevinEassa I'll be there in a few days, I'll try and find out. Thanks for the great video. I've been to Yoho plenty myself, but I learned a few things, and it was a great to share it with an American Friend who's joining me on this trip
I am not too sure about that one. That would be nice if it is allowed because the grade is relatively mellow, but we didn’t see any. I bet the visitor center or phone number for the office would be able to give you a clear answer!

The more I see of British Columbia, the more I want to see!
It is such an incredible place! I love it. Thanks for watching :)

I really enjoyed your video and all the useful information you provided for people like me who wants to plan well before going to the area. You have captured the beauty of those places well. Amazing... Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Can't wait for our trip in this region in just a couple weeks!
Beautiful trail around Emerald Lake in Yoho. Very easy , over an hour hike.
We have done a good bit of it, so beautiful!
thank you for putting this together, it's very helpful!
thanks a lot your your perfect and incredible explanation about the Yoho 10 beautiful places.. have a wonderful day..
I am so glad you liked it, thanks for watching. I have videos on Banff and jasper as well if you’d like to see :) if you’re planning a trip you should definitely combine all 3 parks!
@@KevinEassa yes that's what I will do for my July trip from Michigan.
You did an absolutely amazing job of highlighting all these trails. So much good information and the views you shared are breathtaking
Thank you very much! So glad you liked it
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing places. I definitely want to go to Yoho.
Such a beautiful place, even more so at night, and nowhere near as crowded as Banff
It's such a beautiful park
Moving to Alberta next month. Only been to Yoho once but your video has given me lots of great reasons to return! New subscriber.
I am heading to that area and will have to spend more time than I planned. Thank you for videos of this this park and Baniff and Jasper.
Great video. I'm definitely going to check out Hamilton Falls - thanks!
Thank you. Price wise… all these spots are within Yoho? So only the park entrance is required? Just making sure. Thanks!
Only the park entrance is required, they're all in the park. If you do Lake O'Hara the shuttle prices are separate, but otherwise, every location is included on the park pass
Thank you for sharing, very informative
Great video. Have you ever been in late October? Wonder if it’s too cold/icy already at that point.
It may be, but I bet every season is different. The majority of this video was filmed in the second half of September if it helps
Very Nice video. Very Informative😍
I love your videos 👍🏼🌲
Thank you so much! I appreciate it
Awesome video. I'll use this as a guide for sites to visit later this year. Also, what camera did you use throughout this video, really nice color throughout the vid.
Love this video
Thank you so much!
Nicely done video! what time of year was this video filmed? Curious to know when's a good time to visit
This was filmed in September! But any time from June- September is great!
Great suggestions! Looks amazing. What time of year was this? I'll be heading there Oct 1st.
Most of this was filmed in August! But there’s some footage from other trips that was July and even September. October will be nice, colder and maybe some snow but I think you will probably get some awesome fall foliage!

Amazing!
Thank you!
This is nice show
thanks James!
Great video! Is it worth to go if one cannot do much of the hiking?
100%. The Canadian Rockies are very accessible and while there are a ton of hiking trails, there’s so much to see without hiking. I have videos on Jasper and Banff as well! Great road trip to do all of these parks together

4:40 holy. what a view! where was that taken from?
Amazing video, lots of useful info. Quick one: How much is it covered in Snow if I were to visit in early June ?
Hello Kevin. I enjoyed your video. What month did you visit?

Hello , Yoho or Jasper , which one do you recommend if I have limited time?
Many thanks for the video。 Could you let me know which of these spots are relatively convenient, say assessible with easy walking less than or around 1km after parking？ i hope i can vIsit them this Summer。
Iceline Trail, Twin Falls & Laughing Falls, Burgess Shale Fossil (guided hike) are highly recommended.
Which season are these videos from? Like which month are they from?
September!
@kevin are in these in order … meaning, can one visit these in the order you have explained
You can definitely visit these in order, but any order works! Sometimes what we’ll do is Pin these location on our Google Maps, or our Google My Maps and then you can see where they all are in relation to eachother. And that will help!
Do you think my 80 yr old father could hike Wapta falls?
I think so, slow and steady is the way to do it! The majority of the trail is flat and nicely tracked. It isn’t until the last 200ish feet at the viewpoint where there is steep sections. Hiking poles are great too and just watching your footing on that last part
What month was the trip?
We’ve been 4 times, but everything in here was filmed in either July, August, or September!
what is shttle permit? is shuttle run by park where it takes passangers?
The shuttle is solely for Lake O Hara, everything else you can drive to on your own!
What month was this visit September
This is an excellent video and information tool!!! I am planning on going there this year. I have 2 questions I hope you can answer.
1. What is the best time of year from a photo perspective?
2. How feasible and accessible is Lake O'Hara, Emerald Lake, and Tawakka Falls in May?
Thanks very much,

No too much snow wait for after June 20

How could you not include the ice line trail?
ahhh it looks amazing but I haven't gotten a chance to do that one sadly. I only want to include places I know very well, have hiked myself, and have footage for
14 mile or 11k tolake o hare. Cause 14mile is a long day hike double that to get out in one day 28mile ????
Can I ride my e-bike up the fire road?
That is a good question, I’m not sure but that is an awesome idea if they allow it! I bet the visitor center or park website would have a clearer answer

Guys please Believe me I Live in Columbia Lake 3 and I camp in takfalls
It would be awesome to camp there!
❤😋🛩️2024 🎉😘🎆🗺️
Going to be a good year! Happy holidays
Are you allowed to ride a bike on the fire road to Lake O'hara
I am not too sure about that one. That would be nice if it is allowed because the grade is relatively mellow, but we didn’t see any. I bet the visitor center or phone number for the office would be able to give you a clear answer!
