Amazing waterfall just 15 minutes off the transcanada highway. the waterfall is only a 5 minute walk from the parking lot which has bathrooms, picnic areas, and lots of trails along the river. to get to the waterfall, cross over the pedestrian bridge and head up the path. It's a popular place for tourists and rock climbers but well worth the stop. Rocks are slippery so be careful along the river and at the base of the falls.
Visited late June 2023, This was absolutely worth the trip
This is one of those places I will one day return perhaps when retired or older, if you’re worried about how trails are, this definitely doesn’t require any strenuous work. It’s an easy path, beautiful scenery everywhere you turn. Just magnificent!

This amazing waterfall is the second highest waterfall in Canada. This is the top most attraction in Yoho National park, BC. A short hike to the waterfall. There are few picnic tables & washroom facilities at the beginning of the trail, close to the parking lot. Plenty of free parking is available.
Takakkaw Falls is stunning waterfalls in Yoho National Park, and this natural attraction is well worth the drive to a side road and a short detour from the Trans-Canada Highway. More of a walk on a paved path than a hike. You can climb up the rocks at the end to get closer to the base of the falls if you want (many people do) but you don’t get that much better a view than you do from the end of the path. Spectacular and amazing!
The most beautiful waterfall i have ever seen! So happy to be able to see it in real life! Pictures don’t do it justice. Second tallest waterfall in Canada worth the trip to see! So strong and loud, it was such a beautiful site. We went at 8 am not busy at all only 4 other people there i’m assuming by noon it gets busy. There was a few switchbacks to get up the mountain to reach the falls but nothing a small car can’t handle! Beautiful view of the mountains and all around great experience. Would definitely recommend going here if you’re in B.C. worth the trip!! Outhouses there if you need to go to the bathroom.
This is one of the better surprise finds during the trip in this area. On a whim we decided to check out this falls and wow it's totally worth it.
Parking was relatively easy and free, there's a washroom at the beginning of the trail so use it before you hike. The trail was relatively easy except for the very end where it was steeper and a little rocky, but should be very doable for any able bodied person. The trail took around 20-30 min each way, nothing crazy. You will get slightly wet from the falls mist, so plan accordingly.

A very powerful waterfall, very impressive, you can already see it from a distance from the road. As you get closer, a cold spray of water is felt. I climbed up the mountain and tried to get closer to the waterfall. A special experience for nature lovers.
