I go to see it every other year when we drive by, always different, always beautiful, Canada second highest fall. On the way you have to see the 2 coloed creek to join too and the look out for the Spiral tunnel. Any time you visit you may think you be alone there, mistake. There is always lot of people any time of the day. It is a beauty.

On our first visit to Canada in 2016, we weren’t able to visit as it was too early in the season so we made sure to add it to our itinerary this time around. The falls are located at the end of Yoho Valley Road which is a dead end road so you have to drive back the way you came. The car park can get quite busy and you may have to wait to park if there are no spaces. There are washrooms available and plenty of picnic tables by the side of the river. The famous red chairs are located just before the bridge at the start of the path that leads to the falls. The walk to the falls from the car park is approximately 2km return over a good level path. The closer to the falls you get, the louder they become. You can feel the spray too. We saw people climbing to the left of the falls. There is no path to walk this so we didn’t attempt it. Given the spray coming off the falls, I would think the rocks would be wet and slippery and probably not stable either.

You view the falls from below, and the path from the parking lot leads very close to the bottom of the falls. Easy to find, but note a low kph/mph road leads to the falls so no hurry. I am sure that the parking lot fills in the summer, but you can park along the road and take an alternate path to the falls. That path is just short of the parking lot. Two of the iconic red chairs are (were?) there during our visit.

Takakkaw Falls is a massive and easily accessible waterfall. Even though the volume of the falls is not that great, it's still an impressive sight to see. The falls is visible from the parking lot and is just a short walk to get to the base of the falls. This is probably the best quick attraction in Yoho. For those looking for better falls, the Twin Falls hike from this parking lot provides a better experience and payoff, but requires significantly more effort. I'd recommend everyone visiting Yoho to checkout this easy access wonder.

One of the under rated sights. Would not have known about it if we had not stopped at the Lake Louise visitor center. The falls is absolutely stunning in the loud, misty fall directly from a glacier. Suggest arriving after 4 PM to find parking. The road from the highway has some dangerous curves. We got caught in a rain storm on the way back and spent an hout waiting for forest service to remove fllen trees blocking the road.
