Leaving the main highway and taking a side road that is rather thin in paces you travel about 14kms until you hit the very large car park. The waterfall is visible from the car park but do make the effort to walk along the paved pathways and stand at the foot of the falls. There is a picturesque bridge to cross the turquoise coloured river and the scenery around on all sides is stunning. We were fortunate in that it had snowed a couple of days earlier and so the peaks were still covered and when the sun broke through the clouds it was absolutely beautiful.We had a picnic at the side of the river and just watched the world go by but there are lots of tracks that you could take through Yoho NP and quite a few other waterfalls within a four or five mile trek.

These are not as well known as some other falls in North America, but they are well worth the somewhat difficult drive up to the car park. In addition you can walk quite close to them in complete safety, or if you are more adventurous, you can ascend the "Iceline" on the far side of the valley, and get a completely different perspective on them.

We stayed at the campground for a few nights and despite the random summer storm that came through, it was worth it to see this waterfall roaring down the mountain. Even for those that are just stopping through, I recommend heading down to the campground area to see the waterfall from a different angle, along with the Wapta Icefield in the distance. The walk to the actual falls is wet! The sheer power makes photography near impossible but it’s still a fun experience.

The drive along Yoho Valley Road can be quite intense as it is narrow with a tight uphill switchback, which inexperience drivers might find it quite challenging, especially during peak seasons when lots of vehicles are sharing the same route from different direction.However, it’s totally worth the challenge as Takkakaw Falls is truly impressive and remarkable, that plunge from a height of 254m freefall, making it Canada’s second highest waterfall. The loud roaring sound of the falls can be heard when in the parking lot and the river that runs alongside with the trail is crystal blue. There are a lot of benches along the trail, which visitors can sit back, relax and enjoy the view of the majestic waterfall and listen to it calling back at you.Continue the trail will lead you to an up-close experience with the falls.

One of the highest waterfalls in North America. a short distance from the highway and a great break / picnic site during the trip.

High cliffs make this a spectacular waterfall with lots of spray very photogenic and access right up to the falls by very easy flat path from the carpark, beautiful blue/white meltwater river.

Up there with the best waterfall I've ever seen, and I've seen more than a few after living in NZ and spending the last 3 months travelling through S.E Asia. The sheer size of it is impressive enough to warrant a visit let alone the magnificent scenery which surrounds you 360 degrees. It is also not as busy as some other of the nearby attraction as it is about 12km off the main highway and feature a few switchback turns which make if difficult for larger vehicles to access. Being the third highest waterfall in Canada it is must if travelling through the area.

It's quite a rid to get to the falls but well worth it. We drove there from Banff and don't miss Emerald lake along the way.

I enjoyed seeing this high falls with parts shooting water straight out. You can see it from near the parking lot or take a paved trail to the bottom of it. The drive back to it includes a pull off to see 2 rivers joining together and a switchback road where the curve is so sharp a tour bus must back down.

We had a rainy day in Banff so drove to YoHo national park and checked out the falls (clear skies). Able to climb up along the side of the falls for great pictures to show the size. Not crowded like some sigh-seeing spots.
