THE BEST NATIONAL PARK IN CANADA? | Exploring Yoho National Park, BC

While most tourists go to Banff National Park when visiting Canada, there might just be a better option very close by, especially if you are looking to get away from the crowds. Yoho National Park is just across the border of Alberta in the Southeast corner of British Columbia and is home to absolutely STUNNING waterfalls, alpine lakes and endless hiking trails. It is also home to a lot of BEARS, so please make sure you know what to do if you encounter one or any other wildlife. Attractions like Emerald Lake, Takakkaw Falls, Natural Bridge and Lake Ohara are just a few of the stunning locations to put on your list, but there is so much more! I would also highly recommend staying at Basecamp Lodge Golden as a great place to explore the park from: www.basecampresorts.com/

Good to see you after a while. The word “Yoho” comes from the Cree expression meaning “awe,” which is a great way to describe the beautiful park. Moreover the way you describe the place is more captivating. Keep smiling and thanks from the core of my heart for showing the world to make us believe that it's still worthy and beautiful place to live in.

I've been lucky enough to have visited Lake O'Hara twice. Once, a day trip on the shuttle, the second time we stayed at a cabin at the Lake for a few days. Pictures and videos do not do this place justice. Truly the most incredibly beautiful place I've ever had the privilege to explore.

Another stunning video. from Amazing Alina, Many years ago my friend from San Francisco and i drove to Seattle and Vancouver ending up at Yoho National Park. The natural beauty of it's Lakes, Falls and Wildlife is a hidden gem in B.C. Canada. What better tour to do this with than with your friend Laine? I much prefer Yoho National Park than Banff. Hope you're enjoying a restful and most enjoyable time back in Canada. Sending you much love and affection🥰 from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki

It's incredible how nature can leave us in awe and bring such a sense of peace and tranquility. I can imagine the feeling of serenity and wonder YOU and your friend must have experienced while exploring this magnificent park. I couldn't help but notice the lovely background music that perfectly complemented the visuals, adding an extra layer of charm to the video. How many hours do you spend choosing music for your videos, Alina..!!! It's evident that you have put a lot of effort into creating this content, and it has paid off splendidly!

This was a great little video of lakes, rushing rivers, and nice waterfalls. Looks like this will move onto my must see sometime list.

While staying a night at Emerald Lake Lodge, I cross-country skied around the lake - it was lightly snowing and magical. It's really beautiful in the summer because of the turquoise water. I also stayed at a beautiful private log cabin B & B in Golden which included a huge breakfast (with home-baked muffins to go) and white water rafted just outside town - so much fun. Good to see these places as I moved from Calgary 10 yrs ago.

Great video! Lake O'Hara is worth every step for that 11 kilometers hike. We did hike in at beginning of July and target to reach Lake Oesa, which is another 3 Kilometers up from Lake O'Hara. If possible Lake Oesa is must for the day trip, you will enjoy the mountains, glacier view and lake just for yourself. You can heard wind blowing and failing rocks debris, which is once life time experience.

I've never had the opportunity to travel abroad, but when I do, Canada is going to be my number one destination. I love those scenic landscapes of BC; they look very exotic to me and very different from the forests here in Brazil. Btw, I also loved the videos you made in southern Brazil (another place I want to visit one day), and the ones in Buzios and Arraial (I've been there a couple of times, and I love it there.) Your videos are great! They're a mix of beautiful shots showing the place and relevant comments for those who actually want to visit it one day.
