Freefalling Heights

Gaze up, way up to the top of Takakkaw Falls in Yoho National Park, the third highest waterfall in Canada. Freefalling almost 250 meters, you can almost feel the rocks vibrate as the water crashes down creating a rainbow of fine mist. Nearby, witness the Kicking Horse River and the power of water carving a natural bridge through solid rock.
