Takkakaw Falls is the highest waterfall in the Canadian Rockies, with a vertical drop of 380 m. The name "Takkakaw" is a Cree Indian word meaning "magnificent". The setting of these falls, in the great glacial valley of Yoho, is spectacular. Takkakaw is fed from the Daly Glacier part of the vast Waputik Icefield. From the parking area is a short trail (1 km, 25 minutes) to the falls.

From the diary: "380 m. of cascade, one of highest of the North America. That beauty! They are just beautiful and with the binoculars you can admire the water that seems to come to you with power. We make a brief path and we reach them, we can feel on the face the water of the falls: one sweet breeze."
