Misc Yoho NP pictures

The drive upto Yoho valley is a narrow, winding road with some very very tight switchbacks --> cars and trucks only!!. Here is one view looking down as I drove down to the Kicking Horse campground.

Emerald Lake

At 7am it was raining lightly so I drove to Emerald lake. The two peaks in these pictures are Wapta and Burgess.

This is Burgess Mtn. I attempted to climb this peak a few days later. It's not too hard of a climb but I choose to not go all of the way. It would have given me a nice view of Emerald Lake.

Takakkaw Falls from the Iceline hike


The wonderfull thing about the Iceline hike is that within a hour of hiking you will see the Takakkaw Falls from above - and clearly see the glacier from which the water for the falls comes from.
