Yoho, named for a Cree word expressing awe, is a park of
rock walls, waterfalls and glacial lakes. It's a park with snow-topped mountain
peaks, roaring rivers and silent forests. It's a park whose history is bound up
with a railroad: spiral tunnels inside mountains and stories of runaway trains.
Established in 1896, the park currently spans 1,310 square kilometres (507 square miles) on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, and borders Banff National Park to the east and Kootenay National Park to the south....
