Add a review about the Yoho National Park
How do you like the river with the name Lying horse? A Laughing Falls? And the waterfall "That's great! "?" Do not they, the original names? They can be found in the park of Yoho, which in translation from the language of the Indians means "That's it! ". It is located in the Rocky Mountains on one and a half thousand square kilometers. And there really are many reasons for surprise.
For example, mountain peaks, from where fast rivers flow, have their own characteristics, overgrown with bizarre legends. The already mentioned Lying horse is famous for its violent character: it is believed that it can easily absorb a traveler. Tourists are rescued by a bridge that can be easily navigated to the other side.
The emerald lake justifies its name - the water in it is bright green. In clear sunny weather, the water surface looks like a huge mirror. True, swimming here is not particularly comfortable, as water comes from glaciers.
Waterfall "That's great! "Is actually called in the Indian dialect Takakkou. It flies down from a height of 381 meters. It is worth noting that he lives exclusively on warm days, as he feeds on melting ice. His brother - Laughing - is only 30 meters tall. It is named so because it makes a noise resembling eerie laughter.
The animal world of Yoho is represented by moose, deer, badgers, squirrels, bears, roe deer. There are also more than 180 species of birds here
