Welcome to our valley “The Mountains Shall Bring Peace to the People” Radium Hot Springs Welcome Sign (est. 1928)

W

elcome to “valley time.” Life unfolds at its own pace here. Maybe it's something to do with the magnificent Rockies and Purcell mountain ranges rising up to the east and west, or North America's longest wetlands lazily winding its way through the valley floor. Whatever the reason, it’s magical. One of the most beautiful gems in the crown of natural landscapes that the province of British Columbia proudly wears, the Columbia Valley is a destination not to be missed. With just three points of vehicle access — from the north via Golden, from Alberta to the east through Kootenay National Park, and from the south via Cranbrook — the valley beckons anyone with a taste for adventure, wilderness, rural landscapes and tranquility.

Elegance? We have that too. The Columbia Valley is renowned for its resorts. And hot springs. At the heart of Radium Hot Springs are the famous hot pools in Sinclair Canyon where a relaxing dip can be followed by a luxurious massage at the poolside Pleiades Spa. The famous mineral pools at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort are complimented by three golf courses in the summer, and a family-friendly ski area in the frosty winter months. The valley is also home to three premier ski resorts — Panorama Mountain Resort, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden and Kimberley Alpine Resort — making it a mountain paradise for skiers and snowboarders. Another winter destination growing in popularity is Lake Windermere, where you'll see ice fishing shacks scattered across its frozen surface — passing scenery for the cross country skiers and ice skaters making their way around the lake on the record-breaking Whiteway, which, in 2014, was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's longest outdoor ice skating trail! (Turn to page 62 to learn more.) The game of golf brings thousands of visitors to the Columbia Valley each year. With nine 18-hole courses, it is easy to see why golf is a major attraction in the valley. How about golfing and skiing in the same day? It happens here! There's no end to the region's world class offerings: pristine lakes and rivers; numerous provincial parks, outdoor recreation opportunities for every season, a diverse selection of cosmopolitan restaurants, cafes and shops, a vibrant arts and culture scene, and more. And as the drive from the north end of the valley to the south is just three hours, you don’t have to go far to find your peace.

Welcome to the Columbia Valley, or, as the local saying goes, “the warm side of the Canadian Rockies.” Stay a while, and you will never want to leave.

Columbia Valley

History

A swing bridge in Athalmer over the Columbia River was operational during the riverboat era and allowed passage from Columbia River to Lake Windermere.

T

he Columbia Valley was originally home to First Nations groups, serving as a traditional hunting and fishing ground. Both the Shuswap Band and the Ktunaxa Nation made their living from the land, which provided food, medicine and materials for shelter and clothing. Both First Nations continue to have thriving communities, and place names such as Skookumchuck and Spillimacheen mark their influence on the region.

The Toby Creek bridge under construction in 1912.

The fur trade brought the first European arrivals to the area. In 1807, legendary explorer and fur trader David Thompson built Kootenae House on the banks of the Columbia River near Invermere. From there he traded goods for pelts with the First Nations and surveyed the mountains and streams in the area. Early European settlement was sporadic. From the nearest train station at Sandpoint, Idaho, a number of small ranches and stopping houses crept up along the pack trail leading through the valley, up to the construction site for the Canadian Pacific Railway near Golden. It was only after the railway was completed in 1885, however, that the first towns were established. Names such as Windermere (1883), Athalmer (1888), Fairmont (1889), Peterborough (1899, now Wilmer), and Invermere (1909) were added to the map.

The early economy supporting these growing communities was based on the abundance of ore in the mountains as well as subsistence farming and ranching. A number of land settlement schemes in the 1910s drew immigrants here to make a living farming fruit. Although less-than-ideal agricultural conditions prevented these ventures from thriving, many newcomers stayed to make a living however they could. In the 1920s, lumber became another important natural resource and economic mainstay. The natural beauty of the area was also a draw. In 1905, local businessman Robert Randolph Bruce began to lobby for a motor road to be built between Banff and Windermere. After years of setbacks, his efforts resulted in the creation of Kootenay National Park in 1919 as well as the opening of the first road across the Central Rockies in 1923.

Golden

T

he oldest and most northern town in the Columbia Valley, Golden sits at the confluence of the Columbia and Kicking Horse rivers, surrounded by the Canadian Rockies, Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges. A well-known paradise for outdoor recreation activities, it’s also a historic settlement, lived in and loved by a community proud of its heritage of intrepid exploration and mountain tourism, one that has defined the area for over a century. The Kicking Horse pass and river were named for Palliser Expedition geologist, Sir James Hector, who suffered a near-fatal kick from a horse in 1858 while seeking a route through the mountains for the Canadian Pacific Railway. After the railway to Golden was completed in 1885, the Canadian Pacific Railway brought the first generation of Swiss Mountain Guides to Golden in 1899 to safely guide tourists in the surrounding mountains. And so began the valley’s mountain tourism, which eventually led to the creation of the Canadian Mountain Guide Association, the birth of heli-skiing and the world-class reputation of Golden as an adventurers' mecca. Each year, Golden hosts the Golden Mountain Festival, an annual event that celebrates its authentic mountain town heritage. In 2016, the festival takes place from May 20th to 22nd with the theme “Exploring our Rivers Rafting is one of Golden’s most popular activities.

and Wetlands,” inviting visitors and locals alike to explore and celebrate the magnificent Kicking Horse and Columbia rivers. The Kicking Horse River was the first in Western Canada to be recognized as a heritage river and offers world class whitewater rafting on Class 1 to 4 rapids. The Columbia River is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, and is home to the Columbia Wetlands, which provides the life support system for hundreds of thousands of birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Get onto the rivers and into their stories with fun and fascinating events and activities throughout the weekend including a film festival showcasing local short films, a fun River Battle, music, art exhibits and a weekend-long Adventure Scavenger Challenge. The highlight of the weekend on May 21st is an evening with award-winning wilderness writer and adventure photographer, Bruce Kirkby, whose journeys have led him to more than 80 countries over 2,000 days. He is the creator, producer, and star of Travel Channel’s television series, Big Crazy Family Adventure, in which the opening episode features the family paddling from Kimberley to Golden to start their adventure. For more information on this year’s festival and what’s in store for 2017, check the festival’s website at www.goldenfest.ca.

Pedestrian Bridge. The bridge, which spans the Kicking Horse River in downtown Golden, is the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada. Year-round, the dramatic mountain peaks surrounding Golden attract hikers, mountain bikers, skiers, climbers, hang gliders and paragliders. Home to world-class heliskiing and cat skiing, Golden also offers 240 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails and four maintained snowmobiling areas. Add to that 100 kilometres of maintained cross country mountain biking trails on the Moonraker and the new Mountain Shadows trail systems, a nationally acclaimed golf course, five nearby national parks and you have an ideal outdoor playground. Golden’s biking trails are drawing a number of exciting new events to the community for 2016, particularly the Golden 24, a new annual 24-hour endurance single and team event on June 18th and 19th (visit www.golden24. ca); the BC Enduro bike race on July 19th and 20th (www.bcenduro.com); and the Transrockies Singletrack 6, for which Golden is hosting Stages 4 and 5 on July 29th and 30th (www. singletrack6.com). The renowned Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is located just 15 kilometres outside of Golden and features one of the highest vertical drops in North America. In the summer months, the resort offers a downhill mountain bike park and dining at one of the highest restaurants in Canada — the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant. Visitors can also enjoy many fine shops and eateries in Golden, ranging from quaint cafés to five-star dining, and the lively arts and cultural scene. For indoor kicks, the Dogtooth Climbing Gym is the only commercial indoor climbing gym in the valley and offers over 100 top rope climbing routes and a bouldering cave. And a visit to Golden isn’t complete without a trip to the Northern Lights Wolf Wildlife Centre or Kicking Horse Mountain Resort’s Grizzly Bear Refuge.

Edgewater L

ocated 11 kilometres north of Radium Hot Springs with the dramatic backdrop of Kootenay National Park directly east, the tranquil hamlet of Edgewater is one of the valley’s oldest communities, having celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012. A feature attraction is the wooden water flume (a viaduct for transporting water several kilometres for agricultural use) that was built in 1912 and is still in operation today. Named for its location on the edge of the Columbia River, Edgewater is popular with families and retirees, offering affordable living and a strong sense of community to its permanent population of roughly 550 residents. The local economy is mainly supported by tourism, forestry and agriculture, as well as a substantial self-employed workforce. Easily accessible from Highway 95, Edgewater offers a range of amenities including a volunteer fire department, a Royal Canadian Legion branch, Pip’s Country Store (which offers terrific hot sausage rolls and other snacks) and Gas Station, a post office, a shared ministry church and Edgewater Elementary School. The village hub is the Edgewater Community Hall, which is the venue for an array of events, dances and performances throughout the year. There is also a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities nearby. Within the community itself are an outdoor skating rink and ball park. Just a short drive south are Kootenay National Park and the Radium hot pools, Edgewater is also a favoured pull-out location for people canoeing or kayaking down the Columbia River from

Radium Hot Springs

T

he charming alpine Village of Radium Hot Springs is the first destination visitors encounter when they emerge from Kootenay National Park through the sheer cliff walls of Sinclair Canyon on Highway 93, just moments after passing the world-famous Radium hot pools. Nestled against the foothills of the majestic Rockies with the Purcell Mountains to the west, the village also has stunning views of the Columbia River Wetlands, the longest continuous wetlands in North America. The sweeping vistas of the wetlands, snow-dusted mountains and winding river tributaries make for a spectacular setting. With its small-town charm, friendly people and numerous recreational and business opportunities, it’s easy to see why nearly 1,000 year-round residents and almost double that number of second-home owners choose

Radium. After it was incorporated in 1990, the village became one of the fastest growing communities in the province. The Radium Hot Springs Visitor Centre has been ranked the sixth busiest Community Visitor Centre in B.C. for three years, and is the only centre in the region open 362 days a year (closed Christmas, Boxing and New Year’s Day). Operating side by side with Parks Canada six months of the year, the village’s Visitor Centre also focuses on educating the public about local and resident wildlife. The centre’s popular wildlife exhibit plays an important role in this education. A part-time herd of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, the village’s unofficial mascots, also calls Radium home. These majestic animals are beloved by visitors and locals alike, who have grown accustomed to their quiet presence as they amble through the downtown area during spring, autumn and winter.

Radium Hot Springs Pools T

he famed Radium Hot Springs, located in Kootenay National Park just a short drive from the Village of Radium, feature Canada’s most dramatic mineral springs pool. Surrounded by rock walls, these natural, odourless hot springs are an amazing experience to savour any time of the year.

Photos © Parks Canada

Prior to the arrival of Europeans in the 1800s, First Nations people bathed in the pools, believing the water had healing power. Sir George Simpson, Governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company, was undoubtedly the first “tourist” to relax in Radium Hot Springs’ soothing waters while travelling around the world. By the late 1800s, the springs were popular with the area’s settlers. In 1890, Roland Stuart purchased the 160 acres

around the springs for $160. Stuart constructed the first concrete bathing pool, a log bathhouse and a home for a caretaker in 1914 after receiving funding from multi-millionaire John Harmsworth. When the federal and provincial governments began negotiating the establishment of Kootenay National Park in 1920, Stuart still had not returned from England following the First World War. His agent encouraged the government to expropriate the hot springs and Stuart received about $40,000 for his investment. Since then, Parks Canada has rebuilt the facilities twice. Today’s facilities are housed in the Aquacourt, a classified Federal Heritage Building constructed in 1951. It is open daily throughout the year. Naturally heated by geo-thermic hot springs, the hot pools are kept between 37 and 40 degrees Celsius. The hot lounging pool is the perfect place to relax and unwind after an activity-filled day. The 25-metre long cool pool, complete with diving board, is a wonderful place for families to spend time together. In the summer months, enjoy sunning yourself on the large patio or from the iconic Parks Canada Red Chairs on the Juniper Trail. Take a short hike and explore the forested walking trail to Redstreak Campground or get a bird’s eye view of the Columbia Valley from the Juniper Trail. Towel, swimsuit and locker rentals are available. For hours and admission rates, visit www.hotsprings.ca or call 1-800-767-1611.

Shuswap

band

generation to generation, through stories, using a rich oral history that continues to play an important role among the Shuswap to this day. The Kinbaskets traded and were allies with the Stony Tribe of Alberta, as well as their neighbours, the Akisqnuk — part of the Ktunaxa First Nation — resulting in mixed lineage and affiliations that continue to this day.

he Shuswap Indian Band is a member of the Secwépemc (Shuswap) Nation, an interior Salish-speaking nomadic people who traditionally occupied a vast area in the south-central part of British Columbia. Anthropological and archaeological discoveries, particularly the evidence of “kekulis” (semi-underground pithouses), connect the early Shuswap culture and way of life to the Upper Columbia Valley. Chief Pierre Kinbasket and his twin brother Charlie were some of the first permanent settlers of the Kinbasket Clan in the valley. They built pithouses and salmon caches along the Columbia River to Brisco that are still visible today.The Shuswap people developed an intricate system of travel corresponding with the seasons, as well as an important social and political system that governed their interactions with each other and the use of their traditional lands. The system was passed down from

Since contact with the European explorers and settlers, the Shuswap way of life has changed dramatically. Like many other First Nations, the Shuswap Indian Band’s traditional territory has become increasingly committed to tourism and recreation, as well as industrial and resource development. Kinbasket Water & Sewer Company Ltd. is a self-sufficient water supply and sewage treatment plant that services the Windermere subdivisions of Lakeview Meadows, Black Forest Heights and the Cottages at Copper Point, as well as Canadian Tire, No Frills, Arrowhead Brewing Company, Kicking Horse Coffee, Home Hardware and the rest of the commercial frontage along Athalmer Road, all of which are a part of the Shuswap Band’s economic development. Made up of a chief and two councillors elected every two years, the Shuswap Band Council is the administrative and governing body of the band, which numbers roughly 292 members, with 90 living on reserve.

Wilmer L

Museum and a cairn on Highway 93, just north of Radium.

It was 1807 when famed explorer and mapmaker David Thompson founded a Northwest Trading Company post near the site of present-day Wilmer, naming it Kootenae House. This was the first trading post in the Columbia Valley and is now a National Historic Site located on the drive into Wilmer, locally known as Monument Corner. Originally named Peterborough, Wilmer was eventually founded in 1886 and evidence of its long history can been seen in the original late1800s buildings that pepper its streets. One in particular stands out due to its excellent preservation — the beautiful Delphine Lodge, built in 1899. Wilmer’s most famous resident, Conrad Kain, arrived from Austria in 1909 with the promise of employment as the Alpine Club of Canada’s first professional guide. Over the next quarter century, Kain made climbing history and is credited with the first ascents of many nearby peaks, including Bugaboo Spire and Mount Farnham. The Conrad Kain Cairn and Park in the centre of Wilmer is dedicated to his memory, as is a permanent exhibition at Invermere’s Windermere Valley

Today’s Wilmer is a close-knit and familyoriented fully residential community with all the convenience of Invermere’s stores, restaurants, art galleries and entertainment just a few minutes drive away. Local amenities include a community hall, a kids’ playground and an outdoor skating rink. Its location on the edge of the Columbia River Wetlands provides ample opportunity for bird watching and wildlife viewing. Nature enthusiasts can while away the hours viewing the hundreds of species found locally, including the bald eagle, and may be lucky enough to spot the endangered peregrine falcon, American badger or leopard frog. The 787-hectare Wilmer unit of the Columbia National Wildlife Area protects some of Canada’s most valuable natural habitat for migrating waterfowl, fish, plants and species at risk. Wilmer is also a great staging point for backcountry adventures in quading, snowmobiling, hiking and more. Located five kilometres west of Wilmer is Lake Enid, a popular day use area known for its picturesque trail that loops around the lake, ideal for hiking or mountain biking in the summer and ice skating and cross country skiing in the winter months. Wilmer is also home to a popular annual fireworks celebration on Christmas Eve that continues to grow year after year.

Wilmer offers ample locations for viewing the Columbia Wetlands and birdwatching.

Panorama

S

urrounded by the awe-inspiring peaks of the Purcell Mountain Range with views of the Canadian Rockies across the Columbia Valley, the welcoming community of Panorama Mountain Resort enjoys an enviable location just a short 20-minute scenic drive from downtown Invermere alongside the spectacular rushing waters of Toby Creek. This full-service resort with its vibrant community is a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts of all inclinations.

For heliskiers and heliboarders, Panorama is home to the operations of RK Heliski, which offers easy helicopter access to the magic of the Purcell’s high alpine powder.

Panorama’s other winter activities include snowmobiling and cross-country skiing at the Panorama Nordic Centre, which also caters to fat tire bikers, with 28 kilometres of groomed trails. The summer months promise a ton of excitement with lift-accessed downhill mountain biking and hiking, a wide variety of kids’ activities, whitewater rafting, mini golf, fishing, ATV tours, horseback riding, trail walks, climbing and the Panorama Springs pools and waterpark, which all lodging guests can access. In the summer, the resort also offers golfing at the award-winning Greywolf Golf Course with its spectacular alpine backdrop and beautifully manicured greens. A family-friendly mountain retreat, Panorama has a selection of overnight rental accommodations, from the comfortable convenience of fully-equipped mountainside condos and townhouses to a modestly priced hotel. One of the most appealing attributes of Panorama Mountain Resort is that it is, in fact, a village. Just park underground and head to your room, where you’re only steps away from everything — including the chairlift. For more information, visit www.panorama resort.com.

The winter brings snowsports fans from around the world to enjoy Panorama’s 4,019 vertical feet of skiing — the fifth largest vertical drop in North America. With more than 2,800 acres of patrolled ski and snowboard terrain, the resort is known for its long, groomed runs and big mountain experience. The mountain has over 120 ski trails, including the 750-plus acres of backcountry-style glory in Taynton Bowl, once reserved for heliskiing and now accessible with a lift ticket (it’s patrolled so no avalanche gear is required).

Invermere

On The Lake

Kinsmen Beach in Invermere is the perfect lake destination on a hot summer day.

A

n unbeatable location on the north shore of Lake Windermere gives the community of Invermere on the Lake a privileged place on the valley map. Year-round recreation and events combined with gorgeous lake vistas and outstanding scenic views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains to the east and the Purcell Mountains to the west make Invermere a popular tourist destination any time of year. This picturesque lakeside resort community of 3,400 residents swells to nearly 30,000 during the summer, when seasonal visitors flock to the area to enjoy the fresh air, crystal clear lake waters, jagged mountain peaks and seemingly endless opportunities to recreate or relax in the great outdoors. And thanks to its central locale in the Columbia

Valley, it’s home to a thriving business centre and an Industrial Park that serves all the surrounding communities. Despite its humble beginnings as a small settlement, Invermere gained the grandiose name of Copper City in 1890 in hopes that the wealth of copper in the nearby mountains would one day result in an actual city. Ten years later, the name was changed to Canterbury, after the well-known cathedral city in England. This identity crisis was finally solved in 1909 when the name Invermere (Gaelic for “at the mouth of the lake”) was adopted. The town was officially incorporated in 1951. Visitors love the relaxed atmosphere of downtown Invermere, where they can casually stroll between restaurants, cafés, shops, galleries and green spaces.

Defined by its proximity to Lake Windermere and the Columbia Wetlands, Invermere is popular with water lovers and sun worshippers for its two large beaches — James Chabot Provincial Park and Kinsmen Beach — and the public boat launch next to the Athalmer bridge provides access and free parking to boaters. Summer is celebrated with a string of festivals that grow in size every year, including Canada Day when crowds routinely take over the downtown to watch the lively July 1st parade. And a summer Saturday morning in downtown Invermere isn’t complete without a trip to the farmers’ market that draws a weekly throng with its tantalizing selection of fresh foods, live music, and local arts and crafts.

he serene lakeside community of Windermere sits on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere. Rich in heritage, arts and outdoor recreation, this scenic neighbourhood is located eight kilometres south of Invermere on Highway 93/95 and enjoys access to a range of activities. The public beach in Windermere is one of the most popular in the valley. It’s perfect for the summer heat, with pleasant green spaces, picnic tables, washrooms, a playground and swimming areas. Easy lake access makes this a great spot for any lake-based water sport. With its spectacular north and south views of the entire valley, nearby Mt. Swansea is a locals’ favourite for hiking, biking, hang gliding and paragliding. The Windermere Valley Golf Course located at its base, with its beautifully maintained fairways, makes for a scenic golf experience complete with a laid-back atmosphere, a fully-stocked pro shop, teaching programs and restaurant. During the winter, Windermere is a great base for excursions, either to nearby Panorama Mountain Resort, the ski area at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, or the Whiteway (see page 62 for information on this groomed ice skating and cross-country ski track that connects Windermere to other communities around the lake). The first commercial buildings constructed in

● Glow Bowling ● Ping Pong Pool Tables ● Licensed Lounge

the valley were built in Windermere as early as 1883, with a number surviving to this day. Still to be spotted are the White House Hotel and the old RCMP barracks. Many of Windermere’s other original buildings have been converted into beautiful homes. Today, the community’s amenities include a community hall, an elementary school, two highway gas stations, a bowling alley, a small grocery store, two farm-fresh produce markets, a smattering of places to eat, and the classic White House pub. With its new home subdivisions and renovation properties, this growing community is increasingly popular with seasonal homeowners. If you love a good story, stop by the pretty St. Peter’s Church, also known as The Stolen Church. The building was taken by Rufus Kimpton from the town of Donald, near Golden, for Rufus’ wife Celina. Dismantled and transported to the valley via rail, wagon and riverboat, the church was reassembled in Windermere in 1900. History buffs should also visit the cemetery on the beautiful Windermere Point. The tombstones tell the story of early settlers in the Columbia Valley. And don’t miss the community’s annual Windermere Fall Fair & Scarecrow Festival in September, a daylong celebration with vendors, live music, fun activities and more.

Akisqnuk First Nation T

he people of the Akisqnuk First Nation are members of the Ktunaxa (pronounced too-na-ha) Nation who, for thousands of years, lived a nomadic lifestyle in their traditional territory, which extends through the Kootenay Region of British Columbia into southern Alberta and parts of the American states of Montana, Idaho and Washington. A growing First Nation, the Akisqnuk First Nation is comprised of approximately 300 members. Their native Ktunaxa language, spoken by Ktunaxa people throughout the traditional territory, is a unique First Nation language that cannot be linked to any other native language in North America.

A short drive from the airports in Calgary, Alberta and Cranbrook, B.C., the Akisqnuk First Nation is ideally situated in the heart of the Columbia Valley.

The First Nation is home to the successful Indian Beach Estates subdivision, which is adjacent to Windermere and forms a neighbourhood in that community. Indian Beach Estates offers its leaseholders a stable and secure long-term, federal government-guaranteed land leasing partnership. Photos Š Marlene Chabot

The Akisqnuk First Nation covers over 8,000 acres of the most beautiful land in the Columbia Valley. From its 14 kilometres of pristine shoreline along Lake Windermere and the Columbia River to the base of the Rocky Mountains, the Akisqnuk First Nation territory is spectacular. In fact, the First Nation is the largest single landholder in the Columbia Valley.

Visit www.akisqnuk.org.

Bordering the communities of Windermere to the north and Fairmont Hot Springs to the south, the Akisqnuk First Nation enjoys excellent working relationships with its regional partners in both business and government, and is host to ever-broadening business opportunities. A regional water powerhouse, the Akisqnuk First Nation controls two large water systems, including the state-ofthe-art Central Area Water System completed in 2010.

After passing through the hands of Lloyd and Earl Wilder, brothers from Saskatchewan responsible for the first major expansion, the resort was purchased by Ken Fowler Enterprises in 2007.

The mineral hot pools that first drew settlers to Fairmont can be enjoyed at the resort, home to one of Canada’s largest hot springs complexes. Those enjoying the nearly 1,000 square metres of odourless pools and soothing 35 to 45 C waters have a marvellous view of snow-capped mountain peaks as a backdrop.

Facilities at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort include a 144-room lodge with fitness and convention facilities, a full-service spa, an RV park with over 200 sites, riding trails, tennis courts and ecoadventure programs for the whole family. The resort’s celebrated golf experience is secondto-none, thanks to two 18-hole championship golf courses (Mountainside and Riverside) and a nine-hole course (Creekside) for those seeking a shorter game.

It was 1887 when George Geary homesteaded the land around the natural springs. But it wasn’t until the early 1900s that the springs’ tourism potential was recognized by William Heap Holland, an eccentric English cotton millionaire. The inventive entrepreneur drafted the valley’s first promotional brochure, which helped to draw scores of British tourists to the area. Starting in 1912, Geary harnessed

Another great nine-hole course, Coy’s Par 3, is located just a few minutes south from the village, adjacent to the Columbia Lake communities that include Columere Park, Columbia Ridge, Bella Vista Estates and Spirits Reach. All ages can enjoy a round of mini golf at the Funtasia Fun Park near Fairmont village, where a visit isn’t complete without a stop at the Animal Petting Park.

Canal Flats

O

ne of Canal Flats’ most awe-inspiring features is that it’s situated at the source of the Columbia River, the fourth largest river system in North America, which flows its way through southern B.C., Washington and Oregon before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. Located halfway between Invermere and Cranbrook at the southern end of Columbia Lake with the Kootenay River to the south, the quiet community of Canal Flats takes its name from the flat strip of land that it sits upon, which is intersected by a historic canal.

dream of diverting water from Kootenay Lake. Only two ships ever passed through: the vessel Gwendoline in 1895, and the North Star in 1902. The local post office officially adopted the name Canal Flats in 1913. Canal Flats has expanded since its incorporation in 2004, offering affordable living in a friendly, small-town atmosphere.

The village was first named McGillivray’s Portage by the famous explorer and mapmaker David Thompson when he passed through the region in 1808.

The village is increasingly attractive to families and seasonal homeowners, with the convenience of the Canadian Rockies International Airport just an hour’s drive away.

The canal was built in 1889 by entrepreneur William Adolph Baillie-Grohman to connect Kootenay River to Columbia Lake. Its purpose was two-fold: to try and lower the level of nearby Kootenay Lake and reclaim the 48,000 acres of sediment-rich soil left behind, and to open a north-south passageway for canal steamboats to journey from Montana to Golden. But the risk of flooding the Columbia River curtailed Baillie-Grohman’s efforts. He had no choice but to install a lock system, defeating his

The surrounding scenery is spectacular as the area is part of the Rocky Mountain Trench and the gateway to several stunning provincial parks, including Whiteswan Lake and Top of the World. There is plenty to do in each season, from kayaking, mountain biking, boating and birdwatching in the summer to ice fishing on the lakes and skiing at nearby Fairmont in the winter. Due to its proximity to the backcountry, the area is also a popular quading and snowmobiling destination.

The region around Cranbrook features beautiful forests and the iconic British Columbia Rocky Mountains.

Cranbrook The bustling interior city of Cranbrook is located at the southern end of the Columbia Valley and is the commercial centre of the East Kootenay region. Facing the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the north and east, this community of roughly 20,000 people has the best of city and country life. Originally inhabited by the Ktunaxa First Nation, the land the city now occupies was chosen by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1898 as the administrative centre for its Crowsnest Pass route. The settlement that formed around the railway was incorporated as the City of Cranbrook in 1905. One of the best-known Cranbrook attractions is the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel (est. 1977), which offers tours of vintage passenger trains from the late 1800s through the first half of the 20th century. The epitome of urban convenience in a rural setting, Cranbrook is home to 14 public schools, the College of the Rockies and the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The city has more than 50 restaurants, from convenient take-out to fine dining, with accommodation options

that include 25 hotels/motels and three full-service campgrounds. The diverse economy includes forestry, mining, transportation, manufacturing, tourism, and a thriving central business district with several major shopping areas. For sports and leisure, there are golf courses, almost two dozen parks, a recreation complex with an aquatic centre, three ice skating rinks and a curling rink, all surrounded by acres of unspoiled Crown land. The arts and entertainment options include a performing arts theatre, movie theatres, art galleries, historic attractions and more. The Canadian Rockies International Airport is 15 kilometres northwest of Cranbrook along Highway 95A with regular flights to Vancouver, Kelowna and Calgary. Situated near the junction of Highway 95 and Highway 3, Cranbrook also offers access to southern Alberta, all parts of British Columbia and the northwestern United States.

A-Z Around the Valley From north to south, the Columbia Valley is an adventure playground for all ages, all year long. The scope of things to do can be overwhelming, especially if you’re a first-time visitor. Here is a quick A-Z list to give you some ideas on how to spend your “valley time.”

Beaches

Climbing Rock/Ice

During the summer months, there are a number of sandy spots to kick back on a beach towel and soak in some rays with warm water just a few steps away. In Invermere, check out James Chabot Provincial Park, or Kinsmen Beach with its urban amenities. Windermere Beach on the east side of the lake and Tilley Memorial Park in Canal Flats are also popular.

The Columbia Valley offers plenty of exciting places to climb, whether it’s on granite or dolomite in the summer or waterfall ice in the winter. Locals love the sport climbing at Jubilee Mountain in Spillimacheen and at various locations along Toby Creek near Panorama Mountain Village, while the internationally acclaimed Bugaboos — recognized in the definitive Fifty Classic Climbs of North America as a granite paradise not to be missed — draws climbers from around the world. During the winter, the valley’s cold temperatures and steep walls attract ice climbers to the 140-metre, south-facing Gibraltar Wall in Canal Flats, the beginnerfriendly Cedar Creek seeps near Spillimacheen and the challenging vertical lines found on the Stanley headwall in Kootenay National Park.

Bird Watching One of the longest intact wetlands in North America, the 180-kilometre stretch of the Columbia River Wetlands makes the valley a birdwatcher’s paradise. Over 265 species of birds have been recorded here. Don’t miss the annual Wings Over the Rockies bird festival held each May, which offers a full week of field trips, presentations and workshops.

Camping A great way to get even closer to the valley’s spectacular scenery is by camping. See RV Parks and Camping on pages 60-61.

Canoeing/Kayaking Explore Columbia Lake, Lake Windermere or any of the valley’s spectacular lakes, rivers and wetlands by kayak or canoe. Rentals and tours are available from north to south.

36

Curling Curling is a popular community sport in the valley with the Invermere Curling Club in downtown Invermere as its hub. A lively recreational league runs all winter long with the annual Bonspiel on the Lake as the season’s highlight. It takes place every January as part of the Invermere Snowflake Festival and teams come from across Western Canada as well as Washington and Montana to attend.

2016 Columbia Valley Map Book


The number of local artisans and food producers has grown to the point where bustling farmers’ markets can be found up and down the valley all summer long. Golden hosts markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the Radium Hot Springs’ Market on Main happens every Friday and select Saturdays, the Invermere and Cranbrook markets are each Saturday and the market in Fairmont Hot Springs are on Sundays. Call local Visitor Centres for locations and times.

Festivals The Columbia Valley is becoming renowned for its vibrant music and community festivals held through the year. See Events on pages 41-42.

Fishing The Columbia Valley’s pristine lakes, rivers and streams make for incredible fishing. From Golden to Invermere to Kimberley, a wide range of species can be caught, from Rainbow, Cutthroat and Dolly Varden trout to Bass, Kokanee and Lingcod. Whether shore, boat, fly or ice fishing strikes your fancy, you won’t be disappointed. Rental boats, ice huts, rods and tackle are available in each major centre. Better yet, treat yourself to a guided fishing charter, tour or expedition.

Flying If you like the idea of exploring as the crow flies, then head to the Invermere Airport, where you can get airborne with the Invermere Soaring Centre or Bavin Air. Scenic flights over mountains and glaciers can be had in Cessnas, ultralights, helicopters or gliders. The best soaring season is May to September — world records have flown from here.

Geocaching Geocaching is a great, eco-friendly way to explore the valley’s historical locations, geological features and tourist attractions. Seek out hidden containers (or geocaches) on trails or loops that make nice and easy day-trips. Remove one item and leave one behind for

future treasure hunters. Visit www.bcrockiestreasuretrails.com.

Golfing The Columbia Valley is a mecca for golfers, with 16 courses, from mini-golf to 18-hole games, situated within minutes of each other. See pages 53-57 for details.

Farmers’ Markets

Explore hidden backcountry corners from north to south with locals who know all the best spots. A variety of outfitters offer professionally guided big game hunts, family oriented horseback trail rides, fishing and hiking trips, wildlife viewing and eco-tours.

Hang Gliding/ Paragliding The valley has some of the world’s best sites for hang gliding and paragliding, with excellent thermal conditions and incredible crosscountry opportunities. Check out the famous Mount 7 flying site in Golden (best suited to advanced pilots), Mt. Swansea in Invermere or the Panorama Flying Site. All offer stunning scenery and spectacular thrills. And be sure to check out Invermere’s annual Lakeside Event (also known as the Lakeside Splash) where pilots take off from Mt. Swansea and land in water targets in Lake Windermere below.

Hiking/Heli-Hiking Spectacular scenery can by accessed via endless trails winding through the valley’s landscape, which range from short strolls to strenuous multi-day treks. Visit the BC Parks website at www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore for details on any of the provincial parks in the region. For a detailed map of the trails in Kootenay National Park, stop at the park’s West Gate or swing by the Radium Visitor Centre. To find out how to access the backcountry hiking routes, your best bet is to pick up a guide book or map, as the options are endless. If you’re the type of person who needs to get somewhere fast to relax, check out the various heli-hiking outfits. They’ll get you to the out of reach places quickly, and pick you up.

Horseback Riding

Lakes

Don’t miss out on a memorable way to experience the Columbia Valley’s scenery and wildlife. By horseback, novice to expert riders can explore stunning backcountry trails at a different pace. Sports and leisure riding stables pepper the valley’s communities and rides range from scenic one-hour trips to multi-day camping treks.

Two of the most beautiful recreational lakes in southeastern British Columbia can be found in the Columbia Valley. Columbia Lake lies to the south between Canal Flats and Fairmont Hot Springs. It’s the headwaters of the Columbia River, the largest river in the Pacific Northwest. Its waters flow through Fairmont before widening to create Lake Windermere, where public boat access is available at the north end in Invermere. The valley is also home to countless mountain lakes, perfect for fishing, boating and swimming.

Hot Springs If tourism in the valley was based on one thing, it would be the hot springs. Historically important in so many ways, the hot springs of Radium and Fairmont — two of Canada’s largest hot springs pools — attract thousands upon thousands of visitors each year. For those willing to drive to Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park south of Canal Flats, the wilderness of the undeveloped Lussier Hot Springs offers a natural setting alongside the Lussier River.

Ice Skating/hockey Indoor arenas can be found in Golden, Invermere, Canal Flats, Kimberley and Cranbrook for recreational use as well as cheering on the local hockey teams. For those who prefer to play outdoors during the winter months, Edgewater and Radium have established outdoor skating rinks, while the District of Invermere grooms outdoor ice areas for public use at Kinsmen Beach and hosts the annual Columbia Valley Pond Hockey Championships on Lake Windermere each February. For an epic 30-plus kilometre outdoor skate, the Lake Windermere Whiteway is where you want to be. See page 62.

• • • •

Mountain Biking Epic cross country trails can be found in every community, notably the Cross River Canyon Recreation Trails at Nipika Mountain Resort, the Moonraker and Mountain Shadows trail systems in Golden, the Lake Lillian trails in Invermere, the trails at Fairmont and Panorama Mountain Resort, and Kimberley’s Lois Creek trails. Downhill diehards will love the technical steeps at Invermere’s Mt. Swansea and Golden’s Mount 7, as well as the liftaccessed mountain biking at the Panorama, Kicking Horse and Kimberley ski resorts. For a fun workout, head to the pump tracks in Invermere, Radium and Canal Flats. The Columbia Valley Cycling Society offers trail maps — pick one up at the Invermere bike shops or visit www.columbiavalleycyclingsociety.org.

Mountaineering For those seeking to climb mountains, there are terrific peaks throughout the Rockies and Purcells to choose from. Experienced mountaineers have a whole host of world-class

Quad Biking

alpine climbs in this region known for its range of choices. Popular spots include the jagged peaks of Jumbo Valley west of Invermere, Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park (accessed through Kootenay Park and home to the highest peak in the Southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies) and Bugaboo Provincial Park near Brisco, which features some of the best mountaineering in B.C. The park encompasses extensive ice fields, some of the largest glaciers in the Purcells, and spectacular granite spires exceeding 3,000 metres in elevation.

Museums Discover what shaped valley history by visiting the following museums: the Golden and District Museum, the Windermere Valley Museum in Invermere, Kimberley’s Heritage Museum and Underground Mining Railway, and in Cranbrook, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel and the Cranbrook Art Museum, and the nearby historic site of Fort Steele Heritage Town.

Parks: Provincial & National British Columbia has the largest protected provincial park system in Canada. In the Columbia Valley there are 15 provincial parks, including Golden Ears in Golden, Dry Gulch and James Chabot just outside Invermere, Whiteswan Lake south of Canal Flats and Top of the World northeast of Kimberley and Cranbrook. Visitors can also explore any number of nearby National Parks, including Kootenay (see pages 58-59), Yoho and Glacier in B.C., and Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper in Alberta.

If hopping on an ATV and exploring endless kilometres of winding forest service roads and old logging roads is your idea of a good time, then you have come to the right place. In a wilderness setting west of Radium you’ll find Frances Creek/Lead Queen Mine, with plenty of challenging terrain. The Paradise Mine road, 18 kilometres southwest of Invermere just off Toby Creek Road, is a popular scenic trip for off-roaders keen to explore the remnants of an early 1900s silver mine. Anyone riding in the area needs a valid licence and third-party liability insurance. If you don’t have your own wheels, rent or take a guided tour.

Rafting/Floating Whitewater rafting is a big tourist draw in the valley, with adventurous trips offered on the Columbia, Kootenay and Kicking Horse rivers, as well as Toby Creek, which carves through steep canyons in the Purcells before joining the Columbia. Gentler scenic floats are also available. Wind your way through the internationally recognized Columbia Valley Wetlands or down the peaceful St. Mary’s and Blaeberry rivers.

Skateboarding Invermere’s Mount Nelson Skatepark and the Golden Freeride Park feature expansive plazas, large bowls, obstacles and more. The Kimberley Skate and Mountain Bike Skills Park showcases a wide variety of ramps, verts and rails for all levels. The Viking Youth Skatepark next to the Rec-Plex in Cranbrook is also rideable for all ages. The facilities are open for skateboarding, rollerblading, BMXing and mountain biking.

Skiing A river valley flanked by two rugged mountain ranges is the perfect recipe for fantastic skiing during the winter months. Nordic skiers will find groomed trails scattered through the valley for both skate and classic cross country disciplines. The most unique trail system is definitely the Lake Windermere Whiteway. Nipika Mountain Resort, accessible via Kootenay National Park, maintains 50 kilometres of groomed trails, the Panorama Nordic Centre has more than 20 kilometres of trails with a warming hut, at the base of Kicking Horse Resort, Dawn Mountain Nordic Centre offers 33 kilometres of groomed tracks, and the Kimberley Nordic Club trail network even offers night skiing. For downhill skiers, there are four family-friendly options to choose from: Panorama Mountain Resort near Invermere, the Fairmont Hot Springs Ski Area, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort near Golden and Kimberley Alpine Resort. For those passionate about ski touring, there are more than 20 backcountry lodges to choose from in the Golden area. In the central valley, the Columbia Valley Hut Society maintains five backcountry cabins. There are also backcountry cabins less than an hour west of Canal Flats and a single hut to the northwest of Kimberley.

SUP (stand-up paddleboarding) The stand up paddleboard craze has definitely caught on in the valley. Paddleboards are available for rent and for purchase, and if you’re not confident heading out on your own, join a guided tour to learn the basics under the watchful eye of an expert.

Wildlife Viewing No matter where you go in the valley, you’re almost guaranteed to see wildlife in action. Common sights include bighorn sheep herds in Radium, deer in Invermere, and black and grizzly bears relaxing in the grass along the highway through Kootenay National Park. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot some wild turkeys, or catch a glimpse of coyotes, wolves, cougars and more. Visit the interactive wildlife exhibit at the Radium Visitor Centre to learn more about the species that call the valley home.

Wine/Beer Tasting

Snowmobiling With its moderate to extreme mountain terrain, light dry snow and eye-popping scenery, the Columbia Valley is a mecca for snowmobilers at every level. Mid-valley options include the Forster Creek and Catamount Glacier areas near Radium Hot Springs, the Brewer Creek trail near Invermere and the Doctor Creek route near Canal Flats. In Golden, sledding areas range from groomed trails to steep and remote alpine. Guided tours are also available.

For anyone taking a break from city lights and noise pollution, the Columbia Valley’s beautiful night skies are mesmerizing. On a clear evening, they are twinkling tapestries of stars — literally a heaven for amateur star gazers and professional astronomers alike.

Two premier events take place each year at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. The East Kootenay Wine Festival has been celebrating B.C. wine excellence for 14 years and features over 150 wines. The East Kootenay Beer Festival began in 2012 and combines live music, great food and delicious brews in an outdoor setting. For some locally-brewed samples, head to the Arrowhead Brewing Company on the way into Invermere — the valley’s only brewery that’s been a hit since opening in 2012.

Accommodation Staying in the valley The Columbia Valley Map Book is your number one guide to valley accommodations. These pages contain detailed descriptions of the finest choices available, including street, email and website addresses, telephone and fax numbers, a list of features, seasonal information and, in some cases, a list of nearby visitor attractions. Whether you are seeking something rustic, a cozy nook or the lap of luxury, you can find it here. From luxurious resort suites to privately owned and fully stocked alpine chalets to reasonably priced inns and hotels, there are over 3,000 sites and rooms to choose from. With so much to see and do in the Columbia Valley, you’ll find it near-impossible to stay just for one day. Fortunately our range of welcoming accommodations can meet your every need. Be sure to call ahead for reservations. Summer is our busiest season, but the valley is increas-

ingly busy all year round as more people discover this four-season paradise. Upscale Resorts If you want a no-fuss, lock-and-leave lifestyle, the valley’s resort communities are ideal. They offer luxurious suites, sometimes fully stocked and furnished, and plenty of amenities: spas, golf courses, ski hills, fine restaurants, fitness and business facilities and more. Whole or fractional ownership of suites are available. Condo fees vary according to luxury level. Condominiums The valley has a great selection of new and resale apartment condos, townhomes and detached single-family homes in developments with a few key services and modest condo fees. If you purchase a new condo early enough you have the option to customize your fixtures and fittings, choose your own colours and request upgrades.

DINING

Leo Burrito, Radium

P

art of the thrill when experiencing a new place is savouring the tasty concoctions served up by the local restaurants — of which there are many in the Columbia Valley. The first thing you will want to do is pick up the annual Columbia Valley Dining Guide. A handy booklet with a comprehensive list of every eatery between Spur Valley and Canal Flats, it will help you find the meal you are looking for, whether it’s a traditional burger and french fries, exquisitely designed sushi, European flavours or ethnic cuisine. It comes complete with a map, too, so you won’t waste a minute searching for somewhere to dine. Food culture in the valley is strong. Maybe it’s something to do with the fresh, mountain air that awakens the tastebuds. Whatever it is, it’s guaranteed that after a fun-filled day of brows-

ing for local art, cruising on the lake or hiking your heart out, you will have an appetite to be reckoned with. Why not treat yourself to whatever your heart desires? You will find it here, no matter how picky your palate, because the valley’s excellent collection of coffee shops, restaurants and pubs cater to everyone. Coffee shops across the valley are wonderful places to sip a latté and enjoy the view, either first thing in the morning or when you want to lounge in the afternoon sun. In Radium, relax on the pleasant patio of Meet on Higher Ground and indulge in one of their famous sticky buns. Renowned fair trade coffee company Kicking Horse Coffee is located on the way into Invermere.

Restaurant & Lounge Open: high season for lunch, low season from 5 p.m., daily.

The Old Salzburg Restaurant, Radium Make sure you stop at the uber-modern café for a delicious cup of coffee straight from the source and a tempting tasty treat. One of downtown Invermere’s newest venues is Circle Café at Frater Landing, a popular meeting spot known for its whole foods menu and delightful atmosphere. For a delectable gelati, head to Gerry’s Gelati, with locations in both Radium and Invermere serving up its own brand, Stolen Church Coffee, and delicious desserts made using natural ingredients whenever possible. And a trip to Invermere isn’t complete without a stop at The Invermere Bakery with its mouthwatering selection of treats. Later in the day, discover the Mediterranean cuisine of Tony’s Greek Grill in Fairmont Hot Springs (summer only), soak in some sun on the outdoor patio of From Scratch – A Mountain Kitchen, the chic bistro known for its delicious made in-house meals and artisan retail goods, or visit one of the four eateries run by Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. From pub food to fine dining, something’s sure to hit the spot. Excellent dining just off the greens with fantastic valley views is also offered at the upscale yet casual Eagle Ranch in Invermere where the Rustica Steak House and Traders Lounge will meet your every culinary need. Copper Point Resort’s Elements Grill, a contemporary restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating, is ideal for après-golf and foodies seeking fresh seasonal menus. The Radium golf courses present the choice of three great venues for food, each offering a unique menu, friendly staff, and ultra-fresh food.

Pub & Eatery with its homemade burgers; The Old Salzburg for delicious Bavarian and western dishes; or Back Country Jack’s Restaurant with its rustic interior and lip-smacking ribs, nachos and burgers. If filling family fare is what you’re seeking, then Huckleberry’s Restaurant in Invermere is an excellent choice, or soak up the atmosphere at the Black Forest Restaurant Steak and Schnitzel Haus on Invermere’s outskirts. A unique addition to the valley is the Fuze Food and Smoothie Bar, which serves fast, fresh food with an ethnic flare suitable for most dietary restrictions. A few doors down, Fubuki Sushi caters to sushi lovers and does not disappoint with its incredible menu, and Pizzeria Mercato on Athalmer Road is always a crowd favourite. No matter where or how you dine in the Columbia Valley, you’ll enjoy efficient service with a warm smile. Many of the valley’s restaurants are family owned and operated, with a long tradition of pleasing visitors from around the world.

Kootenay National Park

F

rom tiny, prickly pear cacti to magnificent hanging glaciers, explore a world of incredible contrasts. Established in 1920 around plans to build a road connecting the Columbia Valley to markets in Banff and Calgary, Kootenay National Park protects 1,406 square kilometres of spectacular Rocky Mountain landscape. Every twist and turn of the historic Banff-Windermere Highway, today BC Highway 93, reveals something interesting to explore. From the blue-grey walls of Marble Canyon and rushing turquoise waters of Tokumm Creek to fuchsiacoloured fireweed lining trails to backcountry treasures, and the red cliffs and shattered rock of Sinclair Canyon — this place has it all! Stroll alongside glacial-fed lakes, picnic next to rushing rivers, soak in the soothing waters of Radium Hot Springs or lace up your hiking boots for an epic backcountry hiking adventure. Along Highway 93 South, there are scenic viewpoints, numerous day use areas and 200 kilometres of hiking trails to explore. Download the new Kootenay National Park app before you get here and enjoy a driving tour through the park with Parks Canada Staff. Hear behind the scenes stories about wildlife and wildfires and see how the park has changed over the past 100 years. 58

During peak season (mid-June until early September), there are over 300 campsites available in Kootenay National Park. Demand is heaviest on long weekends between May and October and all weekends in July and August. Reservations are available and highly recommended for Redstreak Campground. Located in the southern portion of Kootenay National Park overlooking the Village of Radium Hot Springs, Redstreak Campground has a magnificent view of the Columbia Valley and Purcell Mountains. This 242-site campground provides a variety of amenities including full, semi and non-serviced sites, as well as ten oTENTik tent cabins that can be rented on a nightly basis. Each oTENTik sleeps up to six people and includes homey comforts such as high-density foam mattresses for a restful night’s sleep, raised wooden floors, and a spacious indoor sitting area for late night card games. Participate in daily interpretive programs, enjoy a gentle hike to the hot springs, or take a stroll through the Village of Radium. Don’t forget your camera as bighorn sheep are often seen wandering through the campground and adjacent restoration area! In the north end of Kootenay National Park, Marble Canyon Campground is only a short drive from spectacular hiking trails including

2016 Columbia Valley Map Book


Stanley Glacier, Floe Lake and Ball Pass. The campground’s close proximity to Banff and Yoho national parks makes day hikes on the Iceline, Taylor Lake, Bourgeau Lake and Twin Lakes trails a breeze. McLeod Meadows, set in the centre of Kootenay National Park, is the perfect secluded sanctuary for families looking to unplug. Listen to the sound of the Kootenay River and watch for wildlife, including deer and elk. Enjoy a gentle hike to Dog Lake then take a short trip down the highway to the Village of Radium for dinner and a soak in the hot pools. Amenities for McLeod Meadows and Marble Canyon campgrounds include private sites for tenting and RVs with access to washroom facilities and running water. Prefer to play in the backcountry? Kootenay is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. Challenging hikes such as the Kindersley-Sinclair, Ball Pass or Floe Lake trails provide the opportunity to get into the backcountry for the day. Those looking to extend their adventure should consider the Rockwall trail, one of the preeminent multi-day hikes in the Canadian Rockies.

Visitors share Kootenay’s landscape with diverse wildlife. Home to bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer, moose and black and grizzly bears. Wildlife can be spotted anytime, anywhere. It is not easy being an animal in the mountains. To find food, connect with a mate or rear their young, animals need to move through a landscape that is pinched by rivers, rock, ice, predators and even busy roads. Visit the new exhibit in the Radium Hot Springs pool’s pedestrian underpass this summer to discover how Parks Canada is helping wildlife safely cross the highway through the Kootenay Valley. Visit www.reservation.parkscanada.gc.ca or call 1-877-737-3783 to book your spot on a Burgess Shale guided hike or in Redstreak Campground. For more information, visit www.parkscanada.gc.ca/Kootenay.

The international spotlight continues to shine in Kootenay’s natural history following the announcement of a Burgess Shale Fossil site discovered near Marble Canyon. In 2014, paleontologists from the Royal Ontario Museum spent nine weeks in the park studying the new find. Want to learn more about the Burgess Shale and its significance?

The Whiteway W

hether your passion is cross country skiing, ice skating, ice fishing, or just the plain thrill of walking, biking and driving across a frozen lake, Lake Windermere delivers during the coldest months of the year, when the water freezes over and a smooth, icy surface forms from the north end to the south. And since 2006, the valley’s local Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club has been funding and maintaining a groomed ice skating and cross country ski track on the frozen lake, that connects the communities of Invermere, Windermere and beyond. Known as the Lake Windermere Whiteway, it has become synonymous with winter outdoor recreation in the valley and is a frosty treat for residents and visitors each year. In 2014, the Whiteway earned the Guinness World Record title for the world’s longest outdoor skating trail. In January 2015, the world record was celebrated with a formal ceremony and the inaugural Whiteway Winter Festival at Kinsmen Beach in Invermere. The Whiteway accommodates both classic and skate cross country skiing techniques as well as recreational ice skating in a mountainous setting that’s second to none.

Originally a 17-kilometre trail, the Whiteway has grown to over 30 kilometres long and six metres wide (for ice skaters) when conditions allow. The impressive scale of the Whiteway has attracted international attention and is the focus of a new tourism video for the region. In 2012, Discovery Channel’s Mark Miller did a segment on the impressive attraction in his weekly science show the “Daily Planet.” The Nordic Club asks that users either pay an individual day-use fee of $5, or purchase a membership to the club. Memberships and donations can be completed online, by mail or dropped in the secure donation boxes at information kiosks found on the Whiteway. The funds are used to provide ongoing maintenance of the track throughout the winter months. Club members are also covered by group insurance through Cross Country BC while using the Whiteway. Visit www.tobycreeknordic.ca for more information. To learn more about the Whiteway, watch the official video on YouTube by searching “World’s Longest Ice Skating Trail - The Whiteway - Take Me There.”

The Lake Windermere Whiteway has three groomed tracks: for ice skaters, classic cross-country skiers and skate skiers.

Cover Project “W

e are so happy to have Alex Fong as the feature artist for the 2016 Map Book Cover Project,” says publisher Dean Midyette. “The painting is aptly titled ‘…so much to do...’ and symbolizes some of the many year-round outdoor activities available in the Columbia Valley.” For the last 12 years, the image that has adorned the Map Book has been reproduced in limited quantities and the monies raised are used to fund worthwhile community projects. Past projects have raised tens of thousands of dollars that have been put toward the completion of the Rotary Splash Park, the purchase of a rescue vehicle by the Invermere Fire Department, developing the Summit Youth Centre, and more. With the Westside Legacy Trail becoming a reality, it was natural to choose this project as the recipient of the 2016 Map Book Cover Art Project fundraiser. The Westside Legacy Trail is a project spearheaded by the Columbia Valley Greenways Trail Alliance. Once completed, this 25-kilometre long, three-metre wide paved surface will link Invermere and Fairmont Hot Springs via the west side (hence the name) of Lake Windermere. It will be a safe and scenic non-motorized way for everyone to travel along this unique stretch of undeveloped land. The trail has already been adopted into the regional park system and construction is set to start in 2016. It will be open to all users, with flatter sections perfect for wheelchair users accessible at the midway

64

point. To learn more about the trail, visit www.ourtrail.org. A similar project in Alberta — the Banff Legacy Trail — links Canmore to Banff, and has had 380,000 users to date. “The Westside Legacy Trail is a solid idea that will continue to grow and benefit the valley for many years to come,” says Artym Gallery co-owner Grey Bradatsch. When speaking about his Map Book cover painting, Alex Fong laughingly says, “It took a lot of focus to create this one. Sometimes I pick up the brush and the painting just flows; this one was tougher. I have so many happy memories of the Columbia Valley… they kept interfering with my concentration!” Fong’s work is wellknown throughout Canada, and has been represented at The Artym Gallery since the gallery opened back in 2002. Obtaining one of Fong’s watercolours has become a popular way for visitors to remember their time in the Columbia Valley. The Artym Gallery will make 100 reproductions (called giclées) of the cover painting available for the Map Book Cover Project fundraiser. They measure 20” x 16” are framed, ready to hang, and priced at $360. To purchase a giclée of ‘…so much to do...’ and support this great project, or to see more of Alex Fong’s work, visit The Artym Gallery in downtown Invermere at 934 7th Avenue or call the gallery at 250-342-7566.

Featured Artist

Alex Fong

T

he cover artist for this year’s Columbia Valley Map Book is well-known Canadian artist Alex Fong.

The painting entitled “…so much to do…” is a compilation piece Alex composed to showcase the endless activities one can do throughout the Columbia Valley. “The painting was a challenge,” says Alex. “I tried to capture the endless choices one must make while standing at the back door… cycling, boating, skiing, golfing, swimming… and then meeting friends at the day’s end to talk and have a glass of wine.” “I love how the painting leads you in and finishes with the eye going to the composition of the lake in the background,” he adds. Born in 1958, Alex has been a professional painter since the mid 1970s. He became attracted to watercolours while taking a two-year interior design course in Vancouver. “They draw me in,” Alex says. “The soft colours capture me from across the room, and then the darker tones lead me right into the actual scene. I had to know how… I had to do that!”

inspiration from the Impressionists like Monet and Van Gogh, and developed his now unique style. “The dots… they are in all my paintings and they are the accessory for the painting, like jewelry to a fine dress,” he says.
