The Kootenay Rockies region is all about outdoor adventure. Hike through alpine valleys and wildflower meadows up to snow-capped mountain peaks. 

This is big-time mountain biking country and is one of Canada's top spots for awesome vistas and trails. Camp by glacial lakes under canopies of old-growth hemlock, Douglas fir and western red cedar.Or experience a cattle ride from the saddle at one of the region's exemplary guest ranches.

When you come in from the wild, tee off for a challenging round of golf on one of the award-winning courses that feature spectacular fairways and dramatic elevation changes.
