Some of the highest waterfalls in Canada are in B.C. — and the second tallest one is really easy to get to if you've got a car. Head out with your crew on the ultimate road trip through the Rockies to Takakkaw Falls, located in the stunning Yoho National Park.

The park is worth a visit on its own — you can see turquoise-blue lakes, observe local flora and fauna and even go skiing (depending on the time of year).

If you're into archaeology, geek out on a guided hike to the Burgess Shale Fossils, which are the oldest evidence of complex life on Earth — yes, even older than dinos.

If you want to skip right to the falls, there's a parking lot in close proximity to them, according to The Banff Blog. All you have to do is take a path to the stunning cascades and ogle at all the majesty.

At 373 metres high, Takakkaw Falls are sure to remind you of your smallness, which is a pretty refreshing experience.

You may even catch a rainbow!
