Parks Canada administers one of the finest and most extensive systems of natural and cultural heritage places in the world. National historic sites reflect the rich and varied heritage of Canada and provide an opportunity for Canadians to learn more about our diverse history.

Following a competitive bidding process, Parks Canada has issued a licence of occupation to The Alpine Club of Canada to operate Twin Falls Tea House National Historic Site in Yoho National Park for a 10-year term.

Parks Canada administers this site on behalf of Canadians. The licence of occupation will permit The Alpine Club of Canada to occupy and operate the national historic site.

Twin Falls Tea House National Historic Site is located near the foot of Twin Falls in the Upper Yoho Valley in Yoho National Park. The national historic site has been a destination for generations of hikers exploring the Yoho backcountry, and is an outstanding example of the style of building and mode of accommodation typical of early wilderness recreation in the Rocky Mountains.

Parks Canada is pleased to work closely with The Alpine Club of Canada to help Canadians discover and connect with history and nature at the Twin Falls Tea House National Historic Site.
