| 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.
