If you're like me, you probably just drive through Yoho National Park on your way to or from Banff and Jasper National Parks. And what a mistake we have all made! This park is spectacular and largely untouched - unlike Banff, which is really, really busy.
I've known about Yoho for decades and even promoted the park vicariously, when I worked for the tourism board in Alberta. But it always seems like a second rate cousin to Banff and Jasper - but it is NOT. It's amazing, beautiful and stunning.
So please join me as we explore the gorgeous Yoho National Park.

あなたが私と同じなら、おそらくバンフ国立公園とジャスパー国立公園への行き帰りに、ヨーホー国立公園をドライブするだけでしょう。そして、私たちは皆、何という間違いを犯してしまったのでしょうか。 この公園は壮観で、ほとんど手つかずの自然が残っています。本当に、本当に混雑したバンフとは異なります。
私は何十年も前からヨーホーのことを知っており、アルバータ州の観光局で働いていたときは、代理としてこの公園を宣伝したこともありました。しかし、それは常にバンフやジャスパーの二流のいとこのように思われますが、そうではありません。 素晴らしく、美しく、素晴らしいです。
