Emerald Lake and the Waterfalls of Yoho National Park
On the western border of Banff National Park on the Pacific side of the continental divide is British Columbia's Yoho National Park.

At 302 Meters (991 feet) Takakkaw Falls is over 5 times higher then Niagara!
Equally as scenic is the drive to the falls up the steep and winding Yoho Valley Road.
