Popular Warnings or Dangers | Other Warnings or Dangers Tips | All Tips (5) You are in Bear Country and remember it is you who is the visitor here. If you see a bear, which we didn't, all sightings must be reported to park staff so they can monitor the bears movement. Regular bear reports are posted at visitor's centres and you will not be allowed to walk solo or in two's but in organised bigger groups. Leave a Comment

Always be aware of the different types of wildlife you may encounter. Be careful on the roads because deer, elk, bighorn sheep and moose might just cross the street without any notice. We have seen a few deer, elk and bighorn sheep along the Highway driving through Yoho National Park, so keep your eyes open as you never know when they might cross the street. But also keep your eyes open for wildlife on your walks and hikes, especially be aware of bears. Leave a Comment

When you are in the Canadian Rocky Mountains you always have to keep in mind that the weather might change very quickly. Especially out of the summer season. But it can change anytime, winter or summer. Also be aware that the temperature changes can be quickly too.
Always have some warm and rain clothing handy! Just be prepared and be aware that the mountain environment can be harsh and dangerous. All the different elements are part of creating a forever changing climate. Weather, terrain, wildlife, people and other conditions can be unpredictable. Leave a Comment

I thought I had driven on switchback before .... but apparently I hadn't! This section of Yoho Valley rd was amazingly intimidating - especially with 2 cars in opposite directions!
There are signs leading up to it was warning, and trailers aren't allowed on this road ...... but there was a large F250 in front of me at one point that just couldn't make the turns ...... and had a back out ... (wimp!)
So be cautious, and be aware of your own lmitations as a driver .... Leave a Comment

When you get near the base of the falls watch your camera lens. The mist is very thick at times and the wind can blow it right at you. Not that it would damage your camera, but it may ruin your shot. Another thing to watch out for on the hike to the base is the constant flow of people. This is one of the largest tourist attractions in the park so it is always busy. Leave a Comment
