Twin Falls Tea House

20

The Twin Falls Tea House allows visitors to follow in the footsteps of the first explorers of the Rockies. This site was constructed in association with the Canadian Pacific Railway, with the project beginning in 1908. Additional buildings were added in 1922 and 1925, serving as examples of different types of design and construction during these three other times. This site was designated a national historic site in 1992 and is now operated by the Alpine Club of Canada.

The historic tea house caters to those looking to explore one of the most popular backcountry routes in Yoho National Park. It is located an 8.5 km walk from the Takakkaw Falls parking lot. From mid-June to mid-October, hikers can rest on the rustic porch, rewarding themselves with lunch and refreshments while enjoying the stunning views of twin falls. The Teahouse also offers accommodation and catered meals for those who reserve overnight stays. This location offers a glimpse back into history, and paths forward on your adventure, such as a footpath that leads to a narrow gorge between these falls. The Twin Falls Tea House offers a backcountry experience like no other.
