The National Geographic Traveler: Canada For more National Geographic travel guides—from Europe to Antarctica and everywhere in between—visit National Geographic Books >> British Columbia’s Yoho National Park lies at either side of the valley of the Kicking Horse River, a major route for both road—Trans-Canada 1—and rail—the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. With some of the most spectacular lakes, waterfalls, and mountain scenery, the park more than deserves its name, derived from a Cree word meaning “awe.” Road, rail, and a well-developed network of hiking trails give easy access to some of the park’s finest features.
