Travel to Yoho National Park Monday, September 9

Travel day from Wilcox Campground to Yoho National Park

Our next travel day takes us South toward the Canada Highway 1. There are several stops along the way to enjoy.

Panther Falls
Panther Falls Trail - From this hike you can see Bridal Veil Falls from the viewpoint, but for the best view a hike down the canyon is required. This was quite a rugged climb down and the falls were great!

We enjoyed many beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes and valleys as we drove. Not every spot was workable for the trailer, so we enjoyed the drive-by sightings. We watched for moose and other wildlife without much luck.

Peyto Lake - The glacier fed lake required a nice uphill climb. We have decided that an uphill climb a day keeps the doctor away. We sure find no trouble finding trails that go up! 


We settle into a campground right on the Kicking Horse river. The town of Field is very close so we drove in to check things out. This delightful little town of very few people is right on the main line of the railroad. It is surrounded by huge mountains with a river running right next to the city. They had a great info center that helped direct our activities both in Yoho and Banff National parks.
