To be able to get a camping spot at Lake O’hara in Yoho National Park, you have to book ahead several months. It’s quite a process, but this means that once you pick your dates, you don’t have any control over the weather.

Unfortunately for us, we went in the middle of September and over our time there, we had rain and snow for the majority of the time. The good news is that all of the larch trees were beginning to change colour, and in a such a beautiful place, it’s hard to be upset even when the weather isn’t ideal.
