Itinerary description
<<< English follows >>> Esta ruta tiene al agua como protagonista: remontamos el río Yoho pasando por varios saltos de agua: Takakkaw Falls, Angels Staircase Falls, Laughing Falls y, por último, las Twin Falls. Todas son espectaculares pero las Twin Falls tienen la particularidad de caer paralelas. Otro punto impresionante es el que he marcado como WPT, “Water through the walls”. Además de las cascadas de agua también podemos disfrutar de dos lagos, el Duchesnay y el Marpole. Llama la atención la cantidad de troncos de árboles hundidos en el fondo del lago Marpole. Es una ruta muy poco transitada. El Twin Falls Chalet estaba cerrado a finales de junio y da la impresión de que no abre nunca. Hay una zona de picnic pero, desde luego, la mejor zona para descansar es el mirador de Twin Falls. Al inicio de la ruta hay un camping. La mayor parte del trayecto es en sombra y con suelo suave salvo lo que se llama Whaleback, que es de roca; es la parte que hay a continuación del lago Marpole. Nosotros lo intentamos pero al final decidimos volver sobre nuestros pasos. <<< English >>> This route has water as protagonist: we went up Yoho River up passing along several waterfalls: Takakkaw Falls, Angels Staircase Falls, Laughing Falls and, finally, the Twin Falls. All are spectacular but the Twin Falls are unique in falling parallel. Another impressive point is the one I have marked as WPT, "Water through the walls". In addition to the waterfalls we can also enjoy two lakes, Duchesnay and Marpole. Particularly striking is the amount of tree trunks sunk in the Marpole lake bottom. It is a little-traveled trail. The Twin Falls Chalet is closed in late June and gives the impression that never opens. There is a picnic area but, of course, the best place to rest is the viewpoint of Twin Falls. At the beginning of the route there is a campground. Most of the route is in shadow and with soft ground except what is called Whaleback, which is rocky with big stones; It is the part that follows the lake Marpole. We tried but in the end decided to retrace our steps.
