As the result of talking to someone in the hot tub, we were advised to "not miss" the opportunity to see Takakkaw Falls in Yoho Natl Park (which shares a border with Banff as it goes into British Columbia). It had rained earlier in the morning and the scenery was spectacular.
We loved this waterfall, wanted to stay there all day.
The river coming out of the falls was the "glacial" milky color. A different meaning to the term, "white water."
The bottom of the falls...misty, very cool...
After the falls, we drove to another destination in Yoho---Emerald Lake. We hiked part way around the lake. The color was incredible. Not always emerald, but sometimes turquoise, gray...
After a munchy lunch in the car, we hiked to Hamilton Falls. We caught some amazing photos...including raindrop spattered ferns...
Mossy gorges...
And eventually the falls...
On the way out, we spotted the sunlight peeking out on this "Jurassic Park" type scene...
As usual, photos do not do it justice. The "forest after rain" smells, colors and textures were fabulous.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!
I so want to go to all of it. Those are pure glaciers! Do you realize the street value of all that ice?
