Yoho National Park

With Highway 1 (the Trans-Canada Highway) running through the centre of Yoho, most people visit by car or RV. The closest major airports are in Calgary (213 km away) and Vancouver (760 km). Visitation is highest in the summer as some hiking trails stay snow-bound until mid-June. Camping is available from May to October. Accommodations and restaurants are available in and around the community of Field located in the heart of the park. With so much to do, planning is key to fitting it all in.
