Yoho National Park

Our first stop this morning was Takakkaw Falls, the 2nd tallest waterfall in Canada. After that, we explored some sights in the Yoho River Valley, including the confluence of 2 rivers, the Yoho and the Kicking Horse. You can see the color difference between them. The more rock flour from glaciers, the muddier the water looks.

After a picnic lunch, we embarked on our last hike, to Ross Lake. I had run out of steam before we started, and considering how gorgeous previous lakes had been, this lake was "meh". Charlie said that it wasn't worth the effort to get there. At the lake, we met 3 lively teachers from CA, and really enjoyed chatting with them.Read more
