Yoho National Park

Canada
Someday we will visit Yoho National Park or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Yoho National Park

Yoho National Park is British Columbia's sister to Alberta's Banff National Park, a world heritage site, and located on the western side of the continental divide that separates the two provinces. It is about 2½ hour's drive west of Calgary, Alberta. Yoho is Canada's second protected area.

The park was created following a trip by Prime Minister John A. Macdonald and his wife Agnes through the Rockies on the newly completed Transcontinental Railway. Inspired on his return to Ottawa, Yoho National Park was created on October 10, 1886. Glacier National Park was created on the same day, becoming the second and third national parks in the country, after Banff.
