Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Kootenay National Park

If you are interested in visiting the Canadian Rockies, but are concerned Banff may be too crowded, then consider visiting Kootenay National Park as it is also part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site and adjacent to Banff National Park, so you get all the beauty and less of the crowds!

  • Located in southeastern British Columbia, ⁠Kootenay National Park is an amazing destination. A land of ice and fire, Kootenay National Park is a place of contrasts, with valleys and canyons carved by glaciers and grasslands marked by fire. 
  • The park's famous western gateway features natural, mineral-rich hot springs perfect for unwinding.
  • Marble Canyon is an impressive gorge with cascading water cutting through deep limestone walls.
You will find my full post about Kootenay National Park - and the ancient fossils you will find there - at this link.
