Twin Falls Tea House National Historic Site
+ My Favorites
Built in 1908 and now a designated historic site, the Twin Falls Tea House is a well-preserved backcountry example of early log structures in Canada’s national parks. Situated in Yoho National Park beneath the spectacular double chutes of Twin Falls in the Yoho Valley, the tea house was constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway for patrons on backcountry tours and, with the exception of a second storey that was added in the 1920s, its enormous logs and rustic design remain unchanged today.
Also referred to as the Twin Falls Chalet, the tea house continues to be a popular stop for hikers and mountaineers. Today, visitors can pause for refreshments at the mountain hut or choose to stay overnight in one of its 15 basic, hostel-style beds, but the amenities, much like the structure itself, have changed little in the last century and there is no electricity or hot water.
The Twin Falls Tea House is approximately 8.5 km (5.3 mi) from the Takakkan Falls Parking Lot on the Yoho Valley Road near Fields.
