Takakkaw Falls in Mid May ??
We plan to stay a Kicking Horse CG at Yoho NP in May. The campground opens May 18th but the road to the falls is closed until mid-June. The following is from Yoho website.
Tumbling 254m (830 feet) in one stretch and 384m (1,260 feet) in total, these falls are among the highest in Canada and the gateway to some of Yoho’s most beautiful hiking. Feel the spray at the base of the falls or enjoy views from afar. Accessible mid-June until mid-October to small vehicles and bicycles only due to steep, tight switchbacks.
Avalanche Safety: In winter, the Yoho Valley Road offers beautiful skiing. If you wish to venture beyond the switchbacks, however, you must have avalanche training, skills and equipment (i.e. beacon, probe and shovel).
My question is; If we want to walk (not ski) to the falls on say May 20th is this considered "Winter"? and 2 is it something that a southern from TN do? , , , :h
