Photo: Waterfall Scenery Takakkaw Falls Yoho National Park Canada
The grand Takakkaw Falls, nestled in British Columbia's Yoho National Park, is Canada's second highest waterfall. Water fed from Daly Glacier plummets free fall down a spectacular 254 meter drop through outstanding scenery.
Takakkaw Falls waterfall in British Columbia's Yoho National Park is aptly named from the Cree Indian word meaning "magnificent" or "wonderful." The magnificent scenery at the falls is dominated by water that is fed from a nearby glacier which dramatically cascades down the rock formations and into the Yoho River below.
Takakkaw Falls is the highest waterfall in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and it is also Canada's second highest waterfall. This natural wonder officially measures at 384 metres from its base to its highest point which includes a beautiful and thunderous free-fall vertical drop area of an amazing 254 metres.
It is one of the most popular tourist attractions within Yoho National Park from June to October each year. ... continue below the picture...
