Kinuseo Falls

Reviewed By DavidL734 - Vancouver, Canada

The dirt road to access is in pretty good shape. The falls are incredible. The hike is easy to the falls. Continue on a couple of kilometres for a better view. It was pretty wet and muddy. It was nice to have boots. Otherwise the trail was pretty easy.

Margaret Falls

Reviewed By calgaryguy - Kelowna, Canada

It is a short walk up to the very impressive falls, and they are worth the visit. The walls of the canyon are impressive and it is just a lovely place to be. I imagine the falls must be tremendous during the spring runoff! Enjoy.

On a rainy day we walked up to the falls. It was a nice hike and the veil covered the rocks. Not many people.

Wells Gray Provincial Park

This large scenic park and wilderness area contains five major lakes, two river systems, many small lakes, streams, waterfalls and rapids, which make this an outdoor recreation paradise.

When we learned that most of the hikes were low-level, along rivers or creeks, I feared we'd get bored. Not to worry! We had a wonderful time during our relaxed, 4-day stay. The first day, on our host's recommendation, we walked Ray Farm, then spent hours gazing mesmerized at the salmon vainly trying to scale Bailey's Chute, then finished with a walk up to Myanth Falls (West Lake trail looked too muddy). Second day we walked up to Trophy Mountain meadows. Wonderful vistas. Tho it was cloudy and a scant 9 degrees at the trailhead at 10:30, the sun burned off the clouds and it warmed up nicely. Stopped at Spahat Creek Falls on the way home. Third day was a change: we rented kayaks for an all-day paddle on Clearwater Lake. Beautiful, quiet, hot. My only quibble was that we had to get the double kayak down from the rack and into the water by ourselves. We're small people (it probably weighed 5x my weight) and in our '70s, so it was quite a struggle. The last day we spent on waterfalls: Helmken, Dawson, and down to the base of Moul,plus the Green Mt. Tower lookout. You could probably do it all in 3 days if you worked harder, but we loved our leisurely visit. Very recommended.

Takakkaw Falls

The falls, in the northern half of Yoho park, drop 833 ft -- making it one of the highest waterfalls in Canada. The falls are spectacular in early summer, when melting snow and ice provide ample runoff.

Reviewed By Roving545392

I went twice. Once with fellow adult friends and again with my daughter and my young grandchildren. Photos cannot capture the depth of this waterfall. Five levels...and the height is phenomenal. The spray coming off and down into the river continually changes the surrounding view. The large boulder slide directly to the west of Takkakaw Falls is also a sight to behold. Climbing to the base of the fall is exhilarating and hiking nearby trails offers view after view after view of Takkakaw and many other beautiful sites in YOHO. Picnic tables along the banks the Kicking Horse River at the trailhead make for a perfect spot to enjoy a meal while your eyes feast on this spectacular waterfall.
