Interpretive programs
Yoho National Park
Explore. Learn. Connect. Park interpreters are here to share fun experiences with visitors in the park. Join us for an evening program or outdoor activity during your visit to the park! Programs are available to everyone, and you don't need to be staying in a campground to join in the fun.
Programs and services are limited this season; additional restrictions may apply. Please check the Yoho National Park information portal dedicated to COVID-19 for regular updates.
