Latest VideoHike to Yoho Lake from Vagabond Lodge on Vimeo. One of the great Hikes in Yoho National Park near Golden BC is to Yoho Lake. It isn't a tough one. You start at Takakkaw Falls which is one of the highest waterfalls in North American and it is a pleasant climb for about an hour and a half, or so to the pass where you come across Yoho Lake. There is a small picnic area and primitive camp ground. We continued over the pass towards Emerald Lake and then followed the Burgess Pass trail for abound 45 minutes to get a great view of Emerald Lake and then turned around and made our way back to Takakkaw falls. If you have two cars it is great to leave one at either Takakkaw Falls or Emerald Lake and then continue over the pass. Overall this hike was about 4 hours or so and was very pleasant. Final Run 2013.mov from Vagabond Lodge on Vimeo. It was the only place I wanted to go and ski on the final day. Up to the top of T2 and it was the right choice. There was about 8 cms of fresh snow and absolutely nobody on the slope. I ended up doing it twice for my final runs of 2013 at Kicking Horse. |
