Adventures Await You
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a casual explorer, Yoho National Park offers a variety of outdoor activities for all levels of experience.
Hiking and Backpacking
Yoho is a hiker’s paradise, with trails that range from leisurely walks to strenuous multi-day treks. The Iceline Trail is one of the most iconic routes, taking you along ancient glaciers, alpine meadows, and offering stunning views of Takakkaw Falls. For a more moderate hike, the Lake O’Hara area offers a network of trails that pass by serene lakes, rugged peaks, and vibrant wildflower meadows. Due to its fragile environment, the number of visitors to Lake O’Hara is limited, so it’s essential to book early for this unforgettable experience.
Winter Adventures
In the colder months, Yoho transforms into a snowy wonderland. Winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and even ice climbing. The trails around Emerald Lake and Wapta Falls are particularly popular in the winter, offering serene paths through snow-covered forests and along frozen lakes. For the more adventurous, Yoho is also a prime spot for backcountry skiing and snowboarding.
Canoeing and Kayaking
Paddle through some of the most pristine waters in Canada on Emerald Lake or the lesser-known Kicking Horse River. Canoeing or kayaking on these crystal-clear lakes offers a peaceful way to experience the park’s natural beauty up close, with stunning mountain backdrops that make for perfect photo opportunities.
Plan Your Visit
No matter the season, Yoho National Park offers a wealth of activities and experiences for visitors. In the summer, the park is alive with vibrant wildflowers, flowing rivers, and endless opportunities for hiking, camping, and water activities. The fall brings a beautiful transformation as the forests change color, and cooler temperatures make for perfect hiking conditions. During the winter, the park becomes a quiet, snow-draped escape, ideal for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
For accommodation, visitors can choose from cozy lodges like the Emerald Lake Lodge or campgrounds located throughout the park. Field, a small village within the park, also offers charming bed-and-breakfast options for those looking to stay nearby.
