This is Takakkaw Falls in Yoho National Park, just across the border from Banff.
At 1,224 feet, it’s the second tallest waterfall in Canada, and the best part is how easy it is to experience. A short walk takes you right to the base of the falls where you can feel the spray and hear the power of the water crashing down.
Most Banff visitors never make it over here — which is exactly why we included it in our Banff travel guide.
