Description

Photograph of Takakkaw Falls, as viewed at a distance in Yoho National Park. A dirt road passes across the foreground on an upward angle from left to right. Beyond the road, a river flows. In the near distance, a bridge horizontally spans the image and stretches across the river. Pines line the far bank behind the bridge. A cliff wall rises tall above the valley and stretches across the image. Takakkaw Falls flows down the cliff face, left-of-center.
