Kootenay Rockies


The best way to describe the Kootenay Rockies is as Canada’s most stunning mountain scenery. Year after year, visitors are dazed by the enormity of the mountains that rise up from the region’s valleys. The sensation of gazing up at towering glacial peaks humbles the region’s visitors. Even the most hardened travellers are unable to experience the Rockies without being touched by a sense of awe. The Kootenay Rockies region stretches from the Okanagan Valley in the west to the Alberta border in the east. The region contains four mountain ranges: the Selkirks, Purcells, Monashees and of course, the Rockies. A map of the area immediately shows a number of Provincial and National Parks that dot the region. It’s in these areas of mountain wilderness that visitors will find the most spectacular, and protected scenery in the province.
