The name 'Yoho' comes from the Cree word expressing awe and wonder, which fittingly describes the park's magnificent landscapes, including towering peaks, roaring waterfalls, and deep blue lakes. The park covers 1,313 square kilometers and is part of the larger UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes other nearby parks. It is a favorite destination for hiking, climbing, and exploring the diversity of its ecosystems and the richness of its geological history, including the famous Burgess Shale, known for its well-preserved fossils.
