Description
From backcountry exploring to lounging in hot springs, southern British Columbia's Kootenay-Columbia region has it all:
- A rich and colourful mining history that rivals the famous Cariboo;
- the province's highest peaks;
- the best alpine heli-skiing;
- the most historic rail-trails;
- the biggest lakes;
- orchards, wineries and breweries.
This is a land that can keep you enthralled for years.
Murphy Shewchuk's Kootenay Trips & Trails will help you explore the region from the US Boundary north to Valemount, and from the height of the Rockies west to the Okanagan — all done with personal insights, detailed descriptions, and full-colour maps and photographs.
