Which Canadian waterfall in Yoho National Park drops 373 metres from Daly Glacier?

The story behind the answer

Takakkaw Falls is the Canadian waterfall in Yoho National Park that drops 373 metres from Daly Glacier.

The waterfall is in British Columbia’s Rocky Mountains. Daly Glacier feeds Daly Creek, which falls in stages from the glacial landscape into the Yoho River valley. Its total vertical drop is commonly given as 373 metres, while the main plunge is much shorter.

The name Takakkaw comes from a Cree expression commonly translated as “magnificent” or “wonderful.” The waterfall is one of the best-known sights in Yoho National Park and is reached by a scenic road that climbs into the high country.

Takakkaw is sometimes described simply as a 373-metre waterfall, but that figure refers to its total drop. This distinction separates it from waterfalls ranked by uninterrupted free-fall height.
