Hiking Yoho National Park – Sherbrooke Lake to Niles Col

On August 24, 2016 By GeoKsIn Hiking, Yoho NP6 Comments

This hike is a scenic powerhouse: four waterfalls, a turquoise mountain lake, a wildflower-filled amphitheatre and an amazing view of the Waputik Icefield (including Daly Glacier, source of Takakkaw Falls). It's ample payback for the challenging 1150 meter elevation gain and total distance of just over 22 km. Allocate a full day to this hike and be sure to pack your camera!
