CANADA: Canadian Rocky Montain Parks - Yoho National Park

Brief Description:
Yoho National Park represents the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains region, and is also a Cree expression of awe and wonder for this place of rock walls, spectacular waterfalls and soaring peaks. In the shadow of the Great Divide, Yoho holds the secrets of ancient ocean life, the power of ice and water, and unique plant and animal communities that continue to evolve today. Yoho, along with Jasper, Kootenay and Banff National Parks and the British Columbia provincial parks of Hamber, Mt. Assiniboine and Mt. Robson form the Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site - one of the largest protected areas in the world.
