So, a week and a half ago we went camping in Yoho National Park. Our site was called Takakkaw Falls and the falls sounded kind of like camping by a freeway. But it wasn't a freeway so it was awesome nature.
This picture of the falls we took across the valley of the Yoho River while we did the hike called Iceline. The hike starts off with a miserable slog of climbing most of the elevation of the hike in the first hour. But once that first bit is done, you spend the next few hours skipping along in complete awe of the scenery.
The hike was 17km with a 690m elevation gain. You got to do the climb to get past the trees for the views but oh my it can be tough. Hike took 6hrs almost to the minute.
