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 63 to learn more.) And there’s more… the summer of 2017 will see two more major attractions completed: the brand new 17,000 square foot state-of-the-art Columbia Valley Centre in Invermere (see page 21), and the paved 25-kilometre multi-use Westside Legacy Trail linking Invermere to Fairmont along the west side of Lake Windermere (see page 62). There's just 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 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!

Columbia Valley
History
A woman stands next to a car parked at Olive Lake in Kootenay National Park on the Banff-Windermere Highway in 1923.
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 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.
Mrs. Jerome Joseph stands by the opening of a teepee on the Kootenay Reserve in August 1927.
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.

A man sits on a hitching rail in front of the Bank of Montreal in Athalmer (year unknown). 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. Just three years earlier in 1920, the valley saw the opening of the Canadian Pacific Railway bungalow camp on the shores of Lake Windermere. The central clubhouse of this historic site has since been moved to the Dorothy Lake area in Invermere (near Kinsmen Beach) and restored. The shores of Dorothy Lake also feature the historic building known as Pynelogs. Built as a private residence in 1914, Pynelogs is
currently a Cultural Centre and Art Gallery. The valley ventured into year-round tourism in the 1960s. A rope tow and small warming hut were constructed at Panorama in 1962 followed by the first chair lift five years later. In 1964, a new pool complex and ski hill were built at Fairmont. Golf courses at both resorts soon followed, adding to the overall number of fairways spreading throughout the valley. As visitors came to see, explore and use the natural attractions of the valley in the years after the Second World War, an increasing number also looked to stay here longer than a couple of weeks. Summer homes were built on the east side of Lake Windermere. Today, nonpermanent residents own approximately 70 per cent of housing in the valley. The magnificent scenery, lake access, natural hot springs and proximity to world-renowned mountainous terrain continues to attract visitors to the region. To learn more about early settlement and the region’s diverse stories, visit the Windermere Valley Museum in Invermere, the Golden and District Museum to the north, the Kimberley Heritage Museum and the Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway to the south, and, in Cranbrook, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the Cranbrook Art Museum, and Fort Steele Heritage Town.

Glacier Crest Trail, Glacier National Park
Golden is also surrounded by six of Canada’s most stunning national parks: Yoho, Glacier, Banff, Kootenay, Mt. Revelstoke and Jasper. Golden’s unique location is made even more special in 2017 as Parks Canada, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, is offering free admission to all national parks. Visit in late summer or fall when visitor numbers diminish, and higher elevation trails are still accessible.

Use Golden as a base from which to experience the spectacular scenery, iconic hiking trails, waterfalls, lakes, and heritage sites of the national parks. Visit Yoho National Park, known as a hiker’s paradise and home to the stunning turquoise waters of Emerald Lake, the impressive waterfalls of Takakkaw and Wapta. Witness railway history at the Spiral Tunnels or visit one of the most important fossil sites in the world on a guided hike to the Burgess Shale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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.
of Canada’s unique mountain heritage and spectacular natural beauty from park hiking trails, day use areas and Rogers Pass Discovery Centre. The Golden Hiking map features maps of Yoho and Glacier national parks’ hiking trails and local trails around Golden and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. It can be found at visitor information points in downtown Golden, as well as online at www.tourismgolden.com. Year-round, the dramatic mountain peaks surrounding Golden attract hikers, mountain bikers, skiers, climbers, hang gliders and paragliders. Home to world-class heli-skiing and cat skiing, Golden also offers 240 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails and four maintained snowmobiling areas. Add to that 129 kilometres of maintained cross country mountain biking trails on the Moonraker and Mountain Shadows trail systems, a nationally acclaimed golf course, fishing, hiking, climbing, whitewater rafting and canoeing and you have an ideal outdoor playground. 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.

Today visitors can take a whitewater rafting trip on the river to follow Hector’s journey through the pass. The Kicking Horse river is world renowned for its class III and IV rapids, but rafting outfitters also offer gentler options for the less intrepid. New in 2016: the ultimate adventure thrill is a heli-rafting trip, a combination of helicopter ride into the lower canyon of the Kicking Horse pass before jumping into a raft to experience the best of the thrilling whitewater. 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 eateries in Golden, ranging from quaint cafés to five-star dining, and the lively arts and cultural scene. In the summer, don’t miss downtown Golden when it becomes alive each week with the farmers’ market and Summer Kicks, a series of free concerts that take place in the Spirit Square adjacent to the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge. The bridge, which spans the Kicking Horse River in downtown Golden, is the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada. 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. Golden is growing as an adventure sport event destination, and June 17th and 18th, 2017 will see the second annual Golden 24 mountain bike race — a 24-hour endurance single and team event. The event was extremely successful in its inaugural year, drawing almost 400 athletes from the Columbia Valley, throughout Alberta, B.C., and the U.S. In September, the Golden Ultra trail running race features a variety of stages and challenges on Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and the Moonraker trails. Cheer the athletes from the start in downtown Spirit Square. A diverse selection of accommodation in both downtown Golden and at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort caters to all budgets, from cozy bed and breakfasts, reasonably priced motels, hotels and seasonal rentals, and luxury vacation homes to charming lodges and rustic log cabins.

Spillimacheen & Brisco K
nown for their peaceful rural setting and quiet way of life, Spillimacheen and Brisco are located at the northern end of the Columbia Valley. With a population just shy of 70, Spillimacheen — named after the Spillimacheen River that empties into the Columbia — is located halfway between Golden and Invermere. Home to a number of artists and studios, Spilli, as it is affectionally known by locals, is also supported by an economy largely based on farming and ranching, and a number of home businesses including catering, bookkeeping and contractors. It’s also home to the seasonal Spilli Bean coffee shop known for its terrific homemade meals and great view overlooking the Columbia River Wetlands. Dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of these wetlands is the Friends of the Columbia Wetlands Society, also based in Spillimacheen. In addition to its popular sport climbing area, Spilli Rock, one of Spillimacheen’s most famous attractions is Beeland, the valley’s apiary speMoonrise over Snowpath Spire Bugaboo Provincial Park

Located in the historic Spillimacheen Trading Post (est. 1912) just off Highway 95, Beeland produces a wide array of locally-made honeybee products, from unique flavoured honeys such as Bugaboo Gold Wildflower to honey-based jams, vinegars, salsas, soaps and more. Located 13 kilometres south of Spillimacheen and 27 kilometres north of Edgewater, Brisco is considered the gateway to Bugaboo Glacier Provincial Park, which boasts the deluxe Canadian Mountain Holidays Bugaboo Lodge, the Conrad Kain Hut (available for overnight bookings through the Alpine Club of Canada from June to September) located at the base of some of the largest glaciers in the Purcell Mountains, and impressive glacier-sculpted granite spires that attract climbers from around the world.

World-class rock climbing in the Jubilee Mountain area, mountain biking off Westside and Giant Mine roads, and hiking on the Lower Bugaboo Falls and Salmon Falls trails are just some of the outdoor recreation options. Because of their proximity to the Columbia River Wetlands, both the Spilli and Brisco communities also offer easy access to canoeing and kayaking on the river.

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. Visitors flock to Radium from all over the world for fun and adventure. The village has 13 golf courses situated within a 45-minute drive, outdoor fitness equipment, parks, hiking, fishing, whitewater rafting, climbing, trail riding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and water sports.

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” (semiunderground 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 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 Stoney 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. However, the Kinbasket Shuswap officially withdrew from the Ktunaxa Nation Tribal Council to re-join the Shuswap Nation in 2006.

Wilmer L
ocated less than five minutes from Invermere, the historic community of Wilmer was the first community established in the heart of the Columbia Valley. 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.
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’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 Museum and a cairn on Highway 93, just north of Radium.
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 recently and lovingly restored community hall, a kids’ playground and an outdoor skating rink.
The Wilmer Wetlands are an ideal birdwatching and canoeing destination.

Mountain Resort
Panorama’s other winter activities include snowshoeing and cross-country skiing at the Panorama Nordic Centre, which also caters to fat tire bikers, with 28 kilometres of groomed trails.

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.panoramaresort.com.

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. 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. 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. Visitors love the relaxed atmosphere of downtown Invermere, where they can casually stroll between restaurants, cafés, shops, galleries and bookstores.

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 lake access and free parking to boaters. And families love the abundance of kid-friendly amenities, from the outdoor Mount Nelson Athletic Park with its fields, tennis courts, skatepark, pumptrack and fields, to the Splash and Spray Park at Kinsmen Beach. Slated for opening in June 2017 is the Columbia Valley Centre — a new 17,000 square foot multi-use facility located on the hill as you drive up from Athalmer into downtown. A community gathering space for the entire valley, it includes a 7,000 square foot main room capable of banquet seating for 500 people plus retractable theatre seating and a central stage and a screen to accommodate live performances, movies and presentations. The Centre also boasts a large lobby/meeting space and a unique spectacular roof top patio with breathtaking panoramic views of the mountain ranges — and it’s the new home for the Invermere Public Library. Visit www.columbiavalleycentre.ca. Summer is celebrated with a string of festivals that grow in size every year, starting with Canada Day when crowds routinely take over the downtown to watch the lively July 1st parade, followed by Bullriding in the Rockies and Valley Appreciation Day later in the month, to name just a few.

Akisqnuk First Nation T
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. 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. 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. 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

the springs, built a swimming pool, erected a ranch barn, started a restaurant, opened a campground and built bungalows. 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.

Canal Flats
The south end of Columbia Lake near Canal Flats with the B.C. Rocky Mountains in the background.
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. 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 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 dream of diverting water from Kootenay Lake. Only two ships ever passed through: the vessel Gwendoline in 1895, and the North Star 30
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 is increasingly attractive to families and seasonal homeowners, with the convenience of the Canadian Rockies International Airport near Cranbrook just an hour’s drive away. 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 numerous trails winding through the nearby landscape offer hours of exploration. The Village of Canal Flats has a range of local amenities, including a hockey arena, a community hall, a local pub, two gas stations, the Canal Flats Family Pantry, the Fire Valley Restaurant, the Wilderness Club Rifle Range, and the Columbia Discovery Centre, which

Tilley Memorial Park, located within the village at the south end of Columbia Lake, has a beautiful beach area, a boat ramp, tables, washrooms with wheelchair access and a children’s playground. All visitors are encouraged to stroll along the historically significant Source of the Columbia Trail interpretive loop, a 1.5-kilometre stroll
through unique Columbia Wetlands marshland habitat that begins minutes from the village centre. And don’t miss the annual Canal Days celebration that takes place each year on the first weekend of June and features kids’ and adult dances, a parade, live music and more.

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
Canoeing/Kayaking
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.
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.
Climbing Rock/Ice 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 draws climbers from around the world. During the winter, the valley’s cold temperatures and steep walls attract ice climbers to the 140-metre Gibraltar Wall in Canal Flats, the beginner-friendly Cedar Creek seeps near Spillimacheen and the challenging vertical lines found on the Stanley headwall in Kootenay National Park.

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.
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.
Geocaching Geocaching is a great, eco-friendly way to explore the valley’s 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.
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.

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 63).
• • • •
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.

Quad Biking 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 (Cranbrook) and Blaeberry (Golden) rivers.

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.
Ziplining New for 2017 are zipline adventures planned for the Radium (visit http:// valleyzip.com), Invermere and Fairmont areas. Contact the Radium and Columbia Valley Visitor Centres for more information.

Winter or summer, mountains or lake —whatever your preference, the Columbia Valley has the perfect accommodation for you.
Accommodation Staying in the valley Whether you are seeking something rustic, a cozy nook or the lap of luxury, you can find it in the Columbia Valley. 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. For short-term accommodation, be sure to call ahead for reservations. Summer in the valley is the busiest season, but the region is getting increasingly busy all year round as more people discover this four-season paradise.
Resort Communities If you want a no-fuss, lock-and-leave lifestyle, the valley’s upscale resort communities are 42
ideal, from Fairmont Hot Springs Resort to Panorama Mountain Resort to Golden’s Kicking Horse Resort and the smaller resort communities in between. They offer luxurious furnished suites, sometimes fully stocked, with plenty of amenities such as 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.
Hotels and Motels Coming to the valley for a quick trip? For some visitors, that might mean one to two nights; for others, they may have a week or a month to enjoy all the valley has to offer. Regardless of the length of time you have to spend here, you have plenty of options when it comes to finding comfortable and convenient accommodation to suit your needs. Those who like having their car parked right outside their room have a plethora of quaint and cozy motels to choose from (think Radium and the row of picturesque motels leading from the village to the hot pools). For something a little more luxurious

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.

Resale Homes and Land The valley has plenty of older homes just waiting for fresh ideas. Many of these gems have choice views and are close to shops, restaurants and recreation, offering an established community location with no condo fees. All the goods, services and skilled labour you need to renovate can be found locally.

DINING
The annual Soiree en Blanc flash-mob style dining event features some of the Columbia Valley’s favourite restaurants. Part of the thrill when experiencing a new place is savouring the tasty concoctions served up by the local restaurants. And there are many to choose from in the Columbia Valley. The first thing you will want to do is pick up the annual Columbia Valley Culinary Guide. A handy publication 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 browsing 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 Big Horn Cafe. Renowned fair trade coffee company Kicking Horse Coffee is located on the way into Invermere.

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. 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

Westside Legacy trail W
alkers, joggers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts unite! Construction of the Westside Legacy Trail will begin summer 2017 with several segments open to the public during the fall. The trail is a multi-recreational, human-powered, paved trail connecting the communities of Invermere and Fairmont Hot Springs — a total distance of 25 kilometres. Paralleling the Westside Road, the Westside Legacy Trail offers a safe, natural setting to enjoy the vistas and unique terrain of western Lake Windermere. Spearheaded by the Columbia Valley Greenways Trail Alliance, the $5 million project began as little more than a conversation between friends, and blossomed into a tight-knit and passionate group of donors, volunteers, landowners and organizers. The trail connects full-time residents, part-time residents and visitors, and is built upon land donated by local landowners (eight in total).
62
Whether you’re visiting or living here full-time, young or old, religiously active or just getting some fresh air, the Westside Legacy Trail is designed for everyone. Enjoy a natural setting at your own pace, and depart from one of the four designated parking areas, each offering a unique experience and difficulty. Take a breath on one of the many benches, enjoy a snack at one of the picnic areas, learn about the history of the area at the interpretive boardwalk, or just relax above a cool shaded creek. You’re almost guaranteed to find something you love while doing something you love. There’s no cost to enjoy the Trail; simply share your experience with your friends and family, and give a happy wave to anyone you see on your journey.

The Whiteway
hether your passion is cross country skiing, ice skating, ice fishing, or just the plain thrill of walking 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” or visit the Facebook page @ LakeWindermereWhiteway. In 2014, the Lake Windermere Whiteway secured the Guinness World Record title for the world’s longest outdoor skating trail.

Map Book
Cover Project The publishers of the Map Book are so happy to have K. Neil Swanson as the featured artist for the 2017 Map Book Cover Project. Neil’s painting conveys his love of spending time outdoors and becoming one with nature, which reflects this year’s project perfectly. For the last 13 years, the image that has adorned the Map Book has been reproduced in limited quantities, with the monies raised to fund worthwhile community projects. Past projects have raised tens of thousands of dollars, which include the completion of the Rotary Splash Park, the purchase of a rescue vehicle by the Invermere Fire Department, developing the Summit Youth Centre, and many other great causes.
“The focus this year is to finish the fundraising for the Legacy Trail project,” says Artym Gallery coowner Grey Bradatsch. When speaking about this year’s Map Book cover painting, K. Neil Swanson is quick to smile.
Last year’s recipient was the Westside Legacy Trail and we are proud to once again support them with the 2017 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, 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 undeveloped land. The trail has already been adopted into the regional park system and all permits have been approved, with a construction start date of April 2017. It will be accessible for all
64
users and flatter sections accessed at the midway point will be perfect for wheelchair users. A similar project, already completed in Alberta, links Canmore to Banff and has had over 400,000 users to date.
“This was fun; I had so many ideas coming. There was no shortage of inspiration. I wanted to capture what people see as symbols of the valley. Not focus on the recreation, but to portray nature. The painting has to include birds, bears, sheep, and also some elk. The next decision was what season to paint. The painting evolved to have snow-covered mountains with open water. Of course, the moon had to be there, too.” The Artym Gallery will make 100 reproductions (called giclées) of the cover painting available to help with the fundraising for the Legacy Trail. The images measure 20” x 16” and they are framed, ready to hang. The giclées are priced at $360. To purchase a giclée and support this great project, or to see more of K. Neil Swanson’s work, visit The Artym Gallery in downtown Invermere (located at 934 7th Avenue) or call the gallery at 250-342-7566. Already left for home? Visit www.artymgallery.com

Featured Artist K. Neil Swanson
T
he cover artist for this year’s Columbia Valley Map Book is K. Neil Swanson. Swanson is a returning cover artist, having been featured in 2003 and 2005. His work is well-known throughout Canada, and has been represented at The Artym Gallery since it opened back in 2002. This year’s cover painting is titled “Spirits Of The Columbia Valley” and was a fun project for Swanson. “I love nature. Being outdoors hiking on a little used backcountry trail is more than just good for the body; it’s good for the spirit. Stopping to watch elk crossing the river, a bear gorging on weeds, or two squirrels play; it connects us with nature. The Columbia Valley gives me a place to make that connection.” Night and day often co-exist in the same painting, the space between them almost imperceptible. Constantly evolving, Neil expresses himself by exploring our relationship with nature and, in essence, ourselves. When asked to explain his art, it is a surprise to find out many works start as stories. Neil often sees an image when out and about, whether on the water or on a hike, and a story grows from there. His work begins on a black background rather than white. The reason is that the subjects are partially reborn from the memories of growing up near the forest. “I battle the black, and sometimes I don’t win, the black does,” Neil says. “Things can get lost in it, but I love the depth of the colours layered on. I pretty much go over every painting three
times. The first layer puts down the foundation, the next for getting the coverage and depth of colour, the last to highlight. It’s a process that takes some time.” “The moon in the trees, for example, is there to unite the earth and sky. The red earth is the energy of the universe pouring down on us, a warm blanket of power beneath our feet. It cleans the slate whenever I head out on the water or hike in the forest; it just gives me a new perspective on everything. Slowing down to listen to the stories I hear there, and relating that on canvas, is the next step in my own creative process.” Originals of Swanson’s work can always be found at The Artym Gallery in downtown Invermere or you can view them online at www.artymgallery.com.
