Rent a kayak and explore the valley’s lakes and rivers

By Kate Irwin Pioneer Staff

Just a reminder… The classified deadline is 12 noon Tuesday.

For a leisurely way to see the valley, a float trip from Columbia River Outfitters might just be the perfect sightseeing solution.

On Sunday, July 25th, the sun was shining and temperatures soared as I set out with Shawn, another intrepid Pioneer staffer, to our launch site.

The company is based below the Athalmer Road bridge into Invermere, reached by driving down the hill, taking the left turn before Petro Canada and following the gravel road to the water.

We were greeted by the friendly and knowledgeable guide and manager, Byron Trask.

With some lighthearted banter we were kitted out with life jackets and safety equipment and stowed our gear in our single person kayaks.

“Take your time to explore around the wetlands, in the wide, open part you’ll come to first,” Byron told us. “When Toby Creek joins up with the main river you’ll know it – the water turns lighter with silt from the glacier melt. It’s a fun part of the river.”

We were to paddle the 17 kilometres from Invermere to Radium Hot Springs, along the Columbia River through acres of stunning wetlands flanked by mountain ranges. After a few more minutes of chat and directions we were off, paddling by the first of three bridges on our way.

After Athalmer bridge, the wetlands open up into a wide, shallow area, filled with reeds and wildlife.

Other kayakers and canoers cut crisscrossing lines through the water as we all explored.

“Ooh, look at that!” I exclaimed repeatedly, pointing as large dragonflies flitted by on gossamer wings, a blue heron swooped low to the water and fellow paddle enthusiasts got tangled in lush reed beds.

Aware that our pick-up, provided by Columbia River Outfitters, would be waiting at 3 p.m., Shawn and I picked up the pace, enjoying testing what the nimble kayaks could handle.

With a sudden drop in temperature, the water changed from clear to grey as the glacier water from Toby Creek joined the Columbia River.

DUCK’S EYE VIEW – A float along the Columbia River wetlands shows off spectacular mountain views at a leisurely pace.

Photo by Joe Lucas . . . Continued from Page 2 We stopped paddling, letting the faster flowing water carry us half a kilometre to the railway bridge across the water. Mentally checking off bridge number two, the paddling recommenced around the river’s lazy twists and turns.

To the east the rugged Rocky Mountains tower out of the landscape; to the west the older Purcell Mountains, remnants of ancient volcanoes, stand up to 3,000 metres tall.

An hour’s leisurely paddle took us past several beaches, sharing greetings with families who had pulled ashore for lunch or a swim.

After a bend to the right, about two thirds of the way into our 17 kilometre trip, a train rumbled past on the nearby line. An integral part of the valley’s development, I enjoyed watching the train as it spent several minutes clattering by.

Paddling once again, we soon spotted the dock mentioned by Byron as

being about a half hour from the end point. This half hour had stretched to 45 minutes by the time Shawn called, “Bridge! It’s just around the corner.”

Hot, tired and utterly happy we were watched from the bridge by Byron and our fellow paddlers awaiting pickup beside Forster’s Landing Road.

The trailer was hitched to the minibus, windows opened wide, and we were soon whisked back to our start point in Invermere.

Columbia River Outfitters offers a range of guided and self-guided canoe and kayak tours along the Columbia and other local rivers. Individuals and groups can rent canoes and single or double kayaks hourly, per day or overnight, which can be taken to any nearby lake or river.

With experience in arranging trips for special occasions, work outings and parties, the company will customize trips to suit your needs.

This summer, have you thought about whether you can afford to take the kids away for a week or two to make memories? Perhaps you have been saving up for this year’s Columbia Valley vacation since you visited last summer, but you aren’t sure you’ve saved enough! Do you book a hotel, tent it, or search for a reasonable and comfortable vacation home in Radium, Edgewater or Invermere? Rest assured you can afford that quality time away with your family and it does not have to break your budget!

Many refer to a “stay-cation” as their form of vacation, where they do not travel far from home and they have their itinerary planned out in advance, avoiding any unexpected costs once they arrive at their destination. A characteristic to look for in a stay-cation is that the destination be somewhat all inclusive, meaning that the amenities you require for an inexpensive escape are included in your stay. Such amenities could include a pool, hot tub, tennis, basketball or volleyball courts, games, movies, kitchen conveniences so you are able to prepare all your meals and an abundance of space for your family.

Ensuring that every cent counts, many stay-cations this year will include vacation home rentals rather than hotels.

“The biggest advantage is you can get a whole house for less than the cost of an average hotel room, complete with all the conveniences of home and hundreds of square feet more, which adds to the fun and value,” said Matt Semmler with Cobblestone Creek Cottage and Lodging Co. Another way to reduce the cost of your family’s vacation is to take in the local sights – most are free.

Check out the farmer’s markets in Edgewater and Invermere on Saturdays, and in Radium on Friday nights. Take a drive and explore the area’s history, drive up to one of the many mountain lakes for a picnic or fishing for dinner. Check out the Radium Hot Springs pools – entry for a family is less than twenty dollars.

Take a walk down Main Street, Radium and take in Music on Main on Thursdays and Saturdays. If you visit in September, don’t miss the nostalgic and exciting Classic Car Show and Shine in Radium. There are so many free events for you and your family to experience that will make memories to last a lifetime.

There are many ways to make memories with your family and take that time this summer season!

TWO WHEEL FUN — Copper City Amusement Park manager Trisha Wilson shows off one of the park’s brand new scooters and the accompanying tour map to guide visitors around Windermere.

Tour Windermere on scooter

By Kate Irwin Pioneer Staff A scooter-driven history tour is now on offer in Windermere, courtesy of Copper City Amusement Park.

The park has bought two brand-new scooters and commissioned local history buff Bob Ede to create a map of interesting or historic nearby sites.

The self-guided tour takes riders on a two to three kilometre loop, visiting seven sites of local interest.

“You could do it all in one hour if you wanted,” said Copper City Amusement Park manager Trisha Wilson. “Or you can take a picnic lunch, put it into the little storage areas on the bikes and head out for the day.”

The tour was dreamed up by staff at the amusement park when the scooters arrived a month ago.

It takes in the picturesque 19th century Stolen Church, which was dismantled and taken from a town near Golden in 1900.

Other spots include the White House Pub, the cemetery and the beautiful Windermere Beach on the shore of Lake Windermere.

“It’s a relaxing, fun way to have a look around Windermere,” Ms. Wilson added. “It’s quiet, away

from the highway – there is beautiful scenery and the houses are amazing along the way.”

The tour route avoids taking riders on the highway, sticking to the quiet streets around the small town.

The map given to scooter renters gives a clear guide of where to visit, with a little piece of information on most of the sites along the way.

Only those with driver’s licences can rent scooters, but there is also the option to take one passenger per bike. And with rates ranging from hourly to a full day, the length and pace of the tour is decided by the rider.

“I don’t think there is anything else like it in the area,” Ms. Wilson said. “You can leave the older kids at the amusement park and go for a ride around the area, then come back and enjoy the park together.”

The rates to rent a scooter from Copper City Amusement Park are $25 per hour, or $115 for the full day, and they can be rented from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.

Also on offer at the park itself is miniature golf, bumper boats with water blasters, a space ball ride and a go-kart track.

The opening hours for the summer are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information on scooter rental or the park, call 250-342-3640.

Take out or Garden Seating. Open for Lunch and Dinner from April to October.

11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. Daily

Hike the Valley View Trail in Radium Hot Springs

By Kelsey Verboom Pioneer Staff Many a hiker has muttered, “No pain, no gain,” while stumbling up a gruelling incline hour after hour in search of a beautiful view.

Whoever coined that phrase hasn’t hiked Radium’s Valley View Trail; it’s short, easily walkable, and provides panoramic views up and down the Columbia Valley. The trail is located in Kootenay National Park and links from Radium to Redstreak Campground.

There are several different places to start the hike. You can begin at the trail head behind Radium’s Visitor Centre. This option will give your legs a nice workout ­– the first 400 metres follow wooden staircases straight uphill.

At the top of the staircases, turn right to go to a lookout point and picnic table. This is an alternative starting point, and there is a pullout to park if you wish to miss the uphill portion.

Turn left at the top of the staircases to continue along the relatively flat main trail, which meanders along the hillside dotted with Douglas fir trees and provides views overlooking the wetlands and valley trough.

The trail takes you through a portion of forest that was recently thinned and restored to the historically natural habitat of one of Radium’s permanent residents: the bighorn sheep.

Although the Valley View Trail itself is only 1.8 kilometres from the visitor centre to Redstreak Campground, it easily connects to the longer 2.2-kilometre Redstreak Loop Trail.

Another nice option is the one-kilometre Redstreak Restoration Interpretive Trail, which begins at the campground’s overflow parking lot and makes a loop through the main restoration area. Signage along the open, grassy trail provides more information about the project.

A complete map of the trails is available at Radium’s Visitor Centre on Main Street East.

HIGH AND DRY – The Valley View Trail in Radium is a short walk with views over the wetlands.

By Sally MacDonald Pioneer Staff A nice way to relax with friends and family on a summer afternoon is to head to a pretty spot and share a meal. In such a beautiful valley, there are dozens of places to spread out your blanket, unpack the picnic basket and bask in the sun. What’s more, you needn’t walk too far with your laden basket. Here are a handful of places, listed from north to south, where you can unwrap the baguette, pop the champagne and relax.

Olive Lake, Kootenay National Park From Radium, drive into the national park and about five minutes past the hot pools, you will see an emerald green lake on the right-hand side of the highway. On the northern end of the lake is a parking area, and a trail starts here and runs beside the beautiful water. A bear and two cubs have been spotted in the area over the past few weeks, so take a whistle.

Sinclair Creek Greenway, Radium From the four-way intersection in Radium, drive west down Forster’s Landing Road. When you come to the entrance to the Canfor mill, make a sharp turn to the right and travel around the edge of the mill.

Soon you will see the entrance to the Sinclair Creek Greenway trail. Just a few metres from the car park is a picnic area beside the creek. It’s a quiet, peaceful spot – just remember to pack the bug spray!

Mount Swansea, Windermere If you are feeling a little more adventurous and don’t mind a 15-minute hike, drive to the top of Mount Swansea, overlooking Invermere. Turn left just after Valley Alley and follow Windermere Loop Road until you spot the small wooden signs indicating Mount Swansea at a left turn. Drive straight up the mountain – it’s safer in a vehicle with higher clearance – until you reach the end of the road. From here, it’s a short climb to the peak, where tables offer a grand, panoramic view of the entire valley.

James Chabot Provincial Park, Athalmer To picnic and swim, head to the beach at the northern end of Lake Windermere, by turning towards the lake at the traffic lights by A&W. Here you will find picnic tables, a playground, public restrooms – and a pub for the grown-ups!

Lake Lillian, Toby Benches For a quieter lake-side picnic, drive towards Pan-

orama and watch out for Lake Lillian on the northern side of the road, after about five minutes. Set up your picnic beneath the trees and paddle the day away.

At the top of the Mile 1 Quad at Panorama Park in the parking lot below the Pine Inn at Panorama Mountain Village and purchase a day ticket for access up the Mile 1 Quad chair lift. At the top of the lift is a stunning view of the majestic mountains. The new and improved picnic deck is the perfect spot to settle down. You may also wish to take advantage of the food service available in the log cabin. The nearby Fort Hide ‘N’ Seek will entertain your little ones.

Tretheway Beach in Windermere To get to this special hide-away in Windermere, take the second exit off Highway 93/95 in Windermere, The Dell Road. Turn left on Victoria Avenue and either Spruce, Poplar or Ash Street on your right will take you to Tretheway Beach. Enjoy a picnic on the grass while the kids play on the playground.

The Meadows, Fairmont Hot Springs The Columbia River meanders through Fairmont slow and windy. At the Meadows in Fairmont, the river makes a large curve beside an open field. You can reach this spot at the end of Wills Road, which is opposite the gas station in Fairmont. A rickety old picnic table sits beside the river – but a blanket might be safer. You can watch bathers awkwardly trying to climb out of their inflatables after floating down the river.

The waterfalls below Fairmont’s hot pools Park at the hot pools in Fairmont, but instead of going into the pools, walk across the bridge toward the RV park. There’s a path to the right of the bridge that goes down to a waterfall. The waterfall is simply the run-off from the pool, but as the pool is drained every day it is clean, very pretty and free. Set up your blanket beside the falls and you can soak and snack at the same time.

Coy’s Hill Lookout, south of Fairmont Close to the highway, this spot is actually a rest stop – but don’t be put off. The picnic tables placed along the ridge have a spectacular view of Columbia Lake from Fairmont to Canal Flats and you will quickly forget your proximity to the road. The pullout is just south of Coy’s Par 3 golf course; the northernmost of two pullouts has the picnic tables.

Wherever you choose to lay your blanket, remember to take away everything you bring with you.

Set up your blanket beside the falls and you can soak and snack at the same time.

The Dutch Creek Hoodoos, Fairmont Hot Springs It takes about half an hour to reach the top of these dusty peaks, but the view is spectacular. The parking area is off Westside Road, about a kilometre from its southern end. The walk is wide but inclined most of the way. At least you won’t feel guilty about those chocolate-covered strawberries!

For picnic supplies, stop into Grant’s Foods in Invermere. You’ll find gourmet delights to pack your basket. Quality Bakery will fulfill your baguette quota. On Friday night, Market on Main in Radium has great fresh produce, while on Saturday, farmers markets in Edgewater and Invermere can provide your picnic lunch.

Wherever you choose to lay your blanket, remember to dispose of or take away everything you bring with you.

DINING TABLE – There is no need to hike in to many valley picnic locations: this spot on Coy’s Hill, south of Fairmont, is just off the highway, but placid Columbia Lake is always peaceful.
