Yes Takakaw falls near Field BC in Yoho national park. Absolutely stunning spot.

You could hike up to Twin Falls from Takaka Falls too. Bit more remote.

I was out by Mundare and son ma gun..... ducks , geese, all kinds waterfoul around over there.

If you want to camp beside nice waterfoul you go by Mundare...real nice Waterfoul around there.

Park @ the south gates to Highway 40, 6-7 km hike into Cat Creek falls. Maybe not the best choice if you aren't somewhat bear savvy.........

Ribbon creek/falls, about 11km into falls, do a bit of a scramble with help from chains by the falls and camp above at the lake, pretty flat up the creek until you get to the falls so not too bad

I don't know about random camping there. I kinda doubt it.

I know that one. Interesting that I saw a pair birds nesting the rocks there.

Is that code for something else......

Always Crescent Falls, west of Nordegg. None of those in the Park restrictions.

I always enjoyed the Waiporous Creek. A lot of people camp on the south side of the river, but if you park and walk upstream a bit you can get away from the crowds pretty easily. It's beautiful too.
