Description

Takakkaw Falls in Yoho National Park in the Canadian Rockies. When you say 'Takakkaw', you are saying, 'It is magnificent', in Cree. It is the right name for this 254 meter (833 feet) waterfall, one of the highest in Canada. Daly Glacier, 350 metres from the brink, feeds the falls. The glacier, in turn, is fed by the Waputik Icefield. Snow falling on the icefield becomes moving ice in the glacier, which melts to become Takakkaw Falls. In Summer, the rock face roars with the plunging mountain torrent, but in autumn, the melt is slowed and by winter, the raging falls narrows to a ribbon of ice awaiting summer to set it free.
