Product Info

-What you can expect-
Embark on an enthralling tour to explore the natural wonders of Kootenay National Park. Your adventure commences at the Great Divide, the renowned boundary that separates Kootenay National Park to the west from Banff National Park to the east. From this point, you'll journey to Marble Canyon. This route takes you through an awe-inspiring marble-streaked canyon shaped by ice and past the regrowth of a forest impacted by the wildfires of 2003.

Next on your itinerary is a visit to Kootenay Valley Viewpoint, rewarding you with panoramic views of the Mitchell and Vermillion mountain ranges. Far below, admire the serpentine Kootenay River as it winds its way through a verdant mountain forest on its ancient course towards its confluence with the Columbia River in Castlegar, BC. For a truly serene experience, you have the option to visit Radium Hot Springs. Here, you can soak in the naturally heated, mineral-rich waters nestled between the steep walls of Sinclair Canyon. Radium Hot Springs is one of three thermal pools in the Rocky Mountain National Parks, offering an indulgent retreat in summer and a magical atmosphere in winter.

Before concluding your journey, take a scenic trail through the open Douglas-fir forest along Sinclair Canyon’s edge. This path provides striking views of the Columbia Valley and the green Sinclair Canyon Falls, making it the ideal way to wrap up your exploration of Kootenay National Park.
