★ Notable · worth the detour
373-metre waterfall off the Daly Glacier; the Yoho Valley Road climb is a classic ride.
Takakkaw Falls is one of Canada's tallest waterfalls at 373 metres, plunging from the Daly Glacier high above the Yoho Valley in Yoho National Park. The Yoho Valley Road leading to the falls is a celebrated cycling destination in the Canadian Rockies, featuring a series of tight switchbacks and dramatic mountain scenery. The falls sit within a national park that also protects the world-renowned Burgess Shale fossil beds and a network of alpine trails.
