Welcome to our valley

elcome to the Columbia Valley, the home of outstanding natural beauty, endless recreation and friendly, welcoming people. We are proud to invite you to enjoy the majestic mountain peaks, crystal clear lakes, lush forests and beautiful scenery of this unique area. This valley’s long-standing tradition of hosting visitors goes back to the early 20th century. Canadians first flocked to the area to marvel at the hot waters flowing naturally from the Rocky Mountains and to test their reputed curative powers. For thousands of years, since the early days of the First Nations, the Columbia Valley has been known as the home of these “smoking waters”, where the lifeblood of earth spilled out to sculpt the landscape and to give soothing relief to the weary traveller. Today, we welcome visitors from around the world. This tranquil paradise has so much to offer year-round. Here, the Columbia River begins its 2,400 kilometre journey to the Pacific, winding through spectacular lakes and nature-filled wetlands up to Golden, at the valley’s northern tip, and beyond. Just beyond the valley’s southern border lies the beautiful, Bavarian-inspired city of Kimberley; and nearby Cranbrook, the largest urban centre in southeastern British Columbia, has a thriving business district and many shopping opportunities. Thousands of kilometres of trails wind throughout the Columbia Valley, offering walking, mountain biking and climbing to spring and summer guests, whereas snow-lovers can enjoy them by sled, cross-country ski or snowshoe. The rugged landscapes of our national and provincial parks provide hanging glaciers, waterfalls and panoramic mountain vistas, which beg to be explored. However you choose to spend your day, you can finish it with a soak in a blissfully warm pool at Fairmont, Radium or Lussier Hot Springs. In these pages you will find a guide to everything you could

Columbia Valley

History

The arrival of explorer and mapmaker David Thompson in the early 19th century signalled the introduction of Europeans to the region. In 1807, Thompson explored the section of the Columbia River passing through what is now the town of Golden. In the 1850s, the Palliser Expedition searched the area for a route through the mountains for the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was 1882 when Major A.B. Rogers, after whom Rogers Pass was named, found a route through the Selkirk Mountains and formed the first settlement in Golden. David Thompson built the valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first trading post, Kootenae House, on the banks of the Columbia River near Invermere. From

that base, he traded goods for pelts with the Aboriginal people and mapped and measured the mountains and streams in the area. He was the first non-Aboriginal man to travel the full length of the river from its headwaters at Columbia Lake to the Pacific Ocean. Wilmer, the tiny village just north of Invermere, began attracting settlers in the 1880s. They travelled into the valley by steamboat along the Columbia River after hearing of a second mining boom in the area (following the discovery of gold at Findlay Creek 20 years before). By 1899, the Canadian Pacific Railway had begun employing Swiss mountain guides to help their passengers explore the area. The chance to experience the wilderness of an infant country drew visitors from Europe and across North America. Tourism began to thrive. The turn of the 20th century brought an influx of British settlers, mainly farming families. Towns were laid out and businesses established. Banks, hotels, general stores and

he natural bounty of the Columbia Valley has sustained human life for more than 10,000 years. This traditional hunting and fishing ground was used seasonally for millenia by First Nations people, for whom the land provided food, medicine and materials for shelter and clothing. To this day, the Shuswap Band and Ktunaxa Nation have thriving valley communities. Many Aboriginal place names like Wasa and Spillimacheen remain, helping form the fabric of the region.

The valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small communities grew and prospered, thanks in part to the Columbia Valley Irrigated Fruitlands Company, which drew gentlemen farmers from England and Scotland to the area with offers of low land prices and swift immigration. A community was spawned in the farming hamlet of Edgewater, nine kilometres north of Radium Hot Springs, when the Edgewater Sawmill was built in 1912, attracting workers from far and wide. Athalmer, Invermere and Windermere developed on the hills and banks of beautiful Lake Windermere, while Radium and Fairmont drew visitors with their famed natural hot springs. The Village of Canal Flats, incorporated in 2004, is the valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest municipality, and one of the youngest in British Columbia.

ably diversified from the lumber and mining operations that originally brought settlers to the region. Tourism is booming and many Canadians, especially Calgarians, own seasonal homes here. To learn more about local history, visit the Windermere Valley Museum in Invermere. The museum is formed from a cluster of heritage buildings moved to the site from around the valley. The main building is the old Lake Windermere CPR station.

In 1915, the Kootenay Central Railroad began operating a regularly scheduled train service between Golden and Cranbrook. Throughout the 20th century, thanks in part to the railway, the Columbia Valley grew and prospered. The economy is now considerPack horses crossing the Vermillion River in Kootenay National Park, just east of Radium Hot Springs.

Golden

Kicking Horse Country

Visitors to Golden can enjoy great food at any one of the town’s fine bistros, restaurants, cafés or pubs.

The dramatic peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the east and the Purcells to the west attract hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, hang gliders and paragliders. The nearby rivers offer first-class fly-fishing, kayaking, rafting and canoeing in the longest unspoiled wetlands in North America. Golden is also home to unrivalled heli-skiing and cat skiing, and is served by more than 50 backcountry lodges and remote bedand-breakfasts. Add to that the renowned Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, just 15 kilometres away, a nationally acclaimed golf course and five nearby national parks, and you have an ideal outdoor playground. The oldest town in the Columbia Valley, Golden started out in the mid-1800s as a survey camp for Major A. B. Rogers, for whom Rogers Pass was named. In an attempt to outdo the nearby Silver City camp, Rogers named his site Golden City. In 1957 the site was incorporated as the Town of Golden. 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 railway. The pass he found made way for the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which used Golden as a base to extend its rail network into Western B.C. When the railway was completed in 1885, Golden became a prominent stop on the line. Tourism began in the late 1800s when the CPR hired Swiss mountain guides to allow Golden’s visitors the chance to stay and explore the incredible, untamed area. Today, Golden has a bustling and diverse economy, with many development opportunities. Visitors can enjoy reasonably-priced motels, hotels and seasonal rentals, or venture out to one of the remote bed-and-breakfasts. There are many fine shops and eateries, ranging from quaint cafés to five-star dining. Golden also has a lively arts and cultural scene. Kicking Horse Culture coordinates a range of performances, art exhibitions, educational events and community arts activities. For more information, visit www.golden.ca.

Edgewater

A rider enjoys the tranquility of the Columbia River Wetlands, just north of Edgewater.

ush greenery surrounds the peaceful community of Edgewater, located nine kilometres north of Radium Hot Springs with Kootenay National Park to the east and the Purcell Mountain Range to the west. Named for its position on the edge of the Columbia River, Edgewater is one of the valley’s oldest settlements. Easily accessed from Highway 95, the village amenities include a gas station, general store, bed-and-breakfast, summer market, Legion branch, golf course and elementary school. Edgewater is popular with families and retirees, offering affordable living with a strong sense of community. The village’s hub is the recently-refurbished community hall, with its array of events, and musical and theatrical performances. The surrounding countryside is filled with wildlife, from the often-seen deer, elk and pileated woodpecker to the rare American badger. With so much natural beauty on the doorstep, visitors can enjoy year-round recreation including boating, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, cross-country and downhill skiing, hunting and more.

Edgewater was formed at the turn of the 20th century as a tiny ranching and farming community. One of the first settlers was Dr. Herbert Gaddes, a cattle rancher and veterinarian from the prairies, who arrived in 1908. Four years later, he put together a company called Columbia Valley Orchards, later to become Columbia Valley Ranches after his fruit tree venture failed. It was the construction of the Edgewater Sawmill in 1912 that began to draw workers to the area, forming Edgewater into the first cohesive community. In 1923, Columbia Valley Ranches was created and Edgewater began to expand. Today the community is supported mainly through agriculture, forestry and tourism. There are a wealth of walking and naturewatching opportunities around nearby Diana Lake and the surrounding countryside. The village is also just over two hours from Bugaboo Provincial Park, a first-class mountaineering region attracting climbers from around the world. Other nearby attractions include Edgewater Hilltop Par 3 Golf Course, Radium Hot Springs and Kootenay National Park.

Radium

Radium’s walkable downtown district is easily explored by foot.

he pretty and peaceful village of Radium Hot Springs is the first destination for visitors as they emerge from Kootenay National Park through the sheer cliff walls of Sinclair Canyon.

Flanked by the majestic Rockies to the east and the Purcell Mountains to the west, the mighty Columbia River flows by the edge of Radium, giving the village 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.

Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, the village’s unofficial mascot. These majestic animals are beloved by Radium’s visitors and locals, 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 16 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.

Radium has a choice of fine restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and stores, all within strolling distance of one another. Highlights include Meet on Higher Ground Coffee House with its speciality teas and coffees and great food, and Old Salzburg with its wonderful Austrian and Continental menu, quirky décor and lively atmosphere.

Wilmer is famous locally for the fantastic Christmas light displays put up by residents. Pictured, the pretty Delphine Lodge was once the centre of Wilmer. The former hotel, now a private home, is one of the village’s many delightful historic buildings.

Wilmer

erched high upon a bench of land overlooking the breathtaking Columbia River Wetlands is the quaint village of Wilmer. Located less than five minutes north of Invermere, this historic village was originally named Peterborough and was the first community established in the heart of the Columbia Valley. Wilmer was founded in 1886 and is filled with many late-1800s buildings, including the beautiful Delphine Lodge, built in 1899. The community boasts the tranquility of a hamlet, with the convenience of Invermere’s nearby stores, restaurants, art galleries, accommodations and entertainment. Located beside one of the longest unspoiled areas of wetlands in North America, the area surrounding Wilmer is home to an unparalleled diversity of wildlife. Nature enthusiasts can while away the hours seeking the hundreds of species found locally, including the bald eagle and the endangered peregrine falcon, American badger and leopard frog. 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 the base from which Thompson spent five years exploring and mapping the region. The spot is now a

National Historic Site. It wasn’t until the 1880s that Wilmer began attracting European settlers, mostly single men who came to work at the Paradise and Ptarmigan mines. With the Canadian Pacific Railway incomplete, and few navigable roads, they travelled to Wilmer by steamboat along the Columbia River. 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. With a rich array of nearby climbing, hiking trails, boating, fishing, bird and nature watching, and a wealth of activities at Panorama Mountain Village (just 18 kilometres up the road), Wilmer is a spot not to be missed during your stay.

picturesque location on the north shore of Lake Windermere gives the community of Invermere on the Lake outstanding scenic views. With the villages of Wilmer and Radium to the north and Fairmont Hot Springs to the south, Invermere’s central valley location offers easy access to a wide range of activities. The lake (actually a widening of the Columbia River) connects Invermere to the community of Windermere, on the eastern shore. Invermere is both a popular visitor destination and a thriving business centre. The vibrant community of 3,200 residents swells during the summer, when seasonal visitors flock to the area to enjoy the fresh air, crystal clear waters, dramatic mountain peaks and plentiful opportunities to recreate or relax in the great outdoors. Despite humble beginnings as a small settlement, Invermere gained the grandiose name of Copper City in 1890. Ten years later this 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 downtown atmosphere which allows them to stroll between

boutiques, restaurants, cafés, gift and specialty shops, department, discount and grocery stores, pharmacies, bookstores and the deli and bakery. The summer Saturday morning farmers market draws crowds with its fresh foods, preserves, baked goods, arts, crafts and street entertainers. Many talented local artists display their work at the downtown co-op called Village Arts. The three privately owned galleries on the main street showcase works by local, national and international artists. A visit is not complete without a stop at Pynelogs Cultural Centre, home to the Columbia Valley Arts Council, a gift shop, café, art gallery and performance area. Invermere’s industrial park to the north of town is home to an antiques store and a variety of services including auto and boat care, veterinary care, recycling and printing. Invermere also has.

Windermere

n the eastern shore of Lake Windermere sits the charming village of Windermere, with scenic vistas and a neighbourly community. Rich in heritage, arts and outdoor recreation, the village is named after Lake Windermere, England’s largest natural lake. Located eight kilometres south of Invermere on Highway 93/95, Windermere enjoys great access to a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities.

The Fall Fair and Scarecrow Festival is one of the most highly anticipated events on Windermere’s social calendar.

This growing community is popular with seasonal home owners, with its choice of new home subdivisions and renovation properties. The village is well stocked with facilities including a community hall, dining establishments, pub, elementary school, grocery store, highway gas stations, bowling alley, locally grown produce sellers and an amusement park.

Stolen Church. The building was taken from the town of Donald, near Golden, by Rufus Kimpton for his wife Celina. Dismantled and transported to the valley via rail, wagon and riverboat, the church was reassembled in Windermere in 1900. History buffs should visit the cemetery on the beautiful Windermere Point. The tombstones tell the story of early settlers in the Columbia Valley.

A trip to the Windermere Art Corner uncovers valley-made wood carvings, paintings, furniture and more. Those looking for a place to rest their head will find a selection of bedand-breakfasts, motels and campgrounds.

The beach in Windermere is perfect in the summer heat, with its pleasant green spaces, picnic tables, washroom, playground and swimming area. Easy lake access makes this a great spot for fishing, water-skiing, windsurfing, walking, swimming and sailing.

The first commercial buildings constructed in the valley were built in Windermere as early as 1883, with a number surviving to this day. Still to be spotted are the Whitehouse Hotel and the old RCMP barracks. Many of Windermere’s other original buildings have been converted to beautiful homes. If you love a good story, stop by the pretty St. Peter’s Church — also known as The

With 16 golf courses on the doorstep, including Windermere Valley Golf Course just across the highway, Windermere is a popular stop for golfers. During the winter there is excellent downhill skiing at nearby Fairmont Hot Springs and Panorama and easy access to the Whiteway, a 15-kilometre groomed ice skating and cross-country ski track connecting Windermere and Invermere.

long the eastern shore of Lake Windermere, between Windermere and Fairmont Hot Springs, sits the Akisqnuk First Nation community. Lake Windermere borders the western edge, while the eastern side extends to the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The area stretches for 14 kilometres along Highway 93/95 and has unmatched splendor with mountain views and easy access to Lake Windermere. The community sits on the 3,272 hectare Columbia Lake Indian Reserve No.3. Akisqnuk is a 300-member strong band governed by an elected Chief and Council, with the administration headquarters located just south of Windermere. For its members, staff provide healthcare, education, housing and economic development services. Community facilities include a community centre, health centre, business offices, softball diamond, skating rink and early learning programs. The Akisqnuk Band is part of the Ktunaxa (pronounced Too-nah-ha) Nation. The nation speaks a unique language, not linked to any other native language in North America. For 10,000 years, the Ktunaxa people have lived in the Kootenays, Alberta, Montana,

Washington and Idaho. The Lakeshore Resort and Campground offers peaceful surroundings, with spectacular views of Lake Windermere. There are sites for tents and RVs, along with two rentable cabins. Chisel Peak Outfitting has exclusive hunting rights to approximately 500 square miles of Rocky Mountains. These traditional hunting grounds have been used for thousands of years by the First Nations people. Chisel Peak also offers eco and cultural tours for visitors through East Columbia Lake, Chisel Peak, nearby hot springs and Indian baths, Pedley Pass and Lakeshore Resort. The Columbia Lake tour takes hikers on a walk of the Ktunaxa Creation story. Legend says Natmuqcin, a giant, hit his head on the sky and fell over, creating the Rocky Mountains. Other tours pass through traditional lookouts and archaeological sites, including pictographs. Everyone is welcome at the National Aboriginal Day celebrations at the Lakeshore Campground on June 16th, 2012. For more information, visit www.akisqnuk.org.

Hot Springs

The Dutch Creek Hoodoos, moments south of Fairmont, provide an outstanding view of Columbia Lake and the surrounding countryside after a brief stroll up the clearly marked trail.

eautiful Fairmont Hot Springs is on the banks of the winding Columbia River, 20 minutes south of Invermere and moments from peaceful Columbia Lake. Fairmont is home to the world-renowned Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, and a community of seasonal and year-round residents who delight in its pleasant surroundings and friendly resort atmosphere. The mineral hot pools that first drew settlers to Fairmont can be enjoyed at one of Canada’s largest hot springs complexes, with nearly 1,000 square metres of odourless pools. Those enjoying the soothing 35 to 45 degree Celsius waters have a mar-

velous view of snow-capped peaks as the backdrop. For a more rustic experience, an old stone bathhouse with three individual bathing rooms sits on a knoll directly above the resort’s main parking lot. It was 1887 when George Geary homesteaded the land around the natural springs now known as Fairmont Hot 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 the springs, built a swimming pool, erected a ranch barn, started a restaurant, opened a campground and built bungalows. A putting green and tennis, badminton and tetherball courts soon followed.

anal Flats sits in a picture perfect setting in the southern Columbia Valley, just off Highway 93/95. The village takes its name from the flat strip of land that it sits upon, which is intersected by an historic canal. Columbia Lake, the source of the mighty Columbia River, is to the north and Kootenay River to the south, with flanks of mountains to the east and west.

Canal Flats was named after this shortlived canal (bottom right), which was built in the late 1800s to join the Kootenay and Columbia rivers.

Supported mainly by the lumber industry, 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 home owners, with the convenience of the Canadian Rockies International Airport just an hour’s drive away.

post office changed its name to Canal Flats to reflect the village’s history. That history is preserved in the remains of a canal built in 1889 to connect Kootenay River to Columbia Lake. It was created by entrepreneur William Adolph Baillie-Grohman to try and lower the level of nearby Kootenay Lake and reclaim the 48,000 acres of sediment-rich soil left behind. The secondary purpose was to open a north-south passageway for canal steamboats to journey from Montana to Golden.

The scenery is spectacular, with plenty to do in every season, from golfing or boating in the summer to snowmobiling or skiing in the winter. The village is the gateway to several stunning provincial parks, including Whiteswan, Thunder Hill and Top of the World, which has a beautiful valley vista.

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 in 1902.

The village was first known as McGillivray’s Portage, named by explorer and mapmaker David Thompson when he passed through the region in 1808. It was 1913 when the

Over 265 species of birds have been recorded in a 150-kilometre stretch of the Columbia River Wetlands. Flanked by grasslands, forest, alpine meadows and rocky crags, this protected area supports abundant wildlife and provides spectacular vistas for bird watching.

With a choice of campgrounds close to resorts, golf courses, rivers and creeks, adventure parks and restaurants — the valley has a campsite for everyone. Prices are very reasonable and the scenery is magnificent. For a list of campgrounds see page 46.

Explore the Backcountry There are plenty of back roads to explore for fishing, camping and hiking. Always map out your route and let others know where you’ll be going and how long you expect to be gone. Be cautious driving in the bush: logging and rock trucks also use the roads.

You’ll find fresh produce, baked goods, crafts, flowers and more in a traditional market setting, while local musicians provide the soundtrack.

Hiking Some of the best mountain hiking trails in the world wind through the Canadian Rockies and the Purcells. Kootenay National Park has a nice trail network with varying levels of difficulty. The complete list is available from the Radium Hot Springs Visitor Centre.

Rafting and Floating For the adventurous, a wild and wet whitewater rafting trip is sure to get the adrenaline flowing. If you’re looking for something a little tamer, a float trip is the way to go.

Day Trips

fter exploring the delights of your little corner of the Columbia Valley, you’ll be eager for more. Within easy driving distance of each community are oneday trips to suit all tastes and requirements, from historical tours by steam train or buggy to exploring the wilderness of Kootenay National Park. At the top end of the valley, just over 1.5 hours north of Invermere, you’ll find the four-season paradise of Golden, with a huge selection of activities and amenities. There’s so much to do year-round: heli-skiing and cat skiing, backcountry climbing and hiking, fly fishing and golfing. Your only problem will be narrowing down your options, but the Golden Visitor Centre can help. The easy drive up to Golden along Highway 95 offers spectacular views of the Rockies to the east and the Purcell Mountains to the west. Between Invermere and Golden are the Columbia River Wetlands, the longest continuous wetlands in North America, with wildlife watching opportunities galore. The peaceful communities of Edgewater, Spur Valley, Brisco and Spillimacheen can also be explored along the way. If you love chili, time your trip to coincide with Spilli Chili, the annual chili-making contest held every June.

To take in the majesty of Bugaboo Glacier Provincial Park, turn west on Brisco Road just south of Brisco. You’ll need four-wheeldrive for this adventure. The Bugaboos are beautiful and rich in history, but they’re also rugged. The terrain is best suited to experienced mountaineers and skiers. If you want to explore the valley’s centre take the chance to soothe your bones at Radium Hot Springs (20 minutes north of Invermere and 1.5 hours south of Golden), which has the largest naturally occurring hot pools in Canada. If exploration is your thing, you’ll love the easy access west along Highway 93 into Kootenay National Park. The Visitor Centre in downtown Radium can provide maps, hiking guides, park fishing licences and more. The pretty and historic village of Wilmer, a few minutes north of Invermere (take the Panorama Drive turning just after Athalmer Bridge) is a delightful sightseeing spot. At the heart of the valley you’ll find the lovely community of Invermere on the Lake, with beautiful views across Lake Windermere. The public beaches (two in Invermere, one in Windermere) make for a pleasant place to enjoy sunshine and a swim or maybe a few hours of boating. Canoes and kayaks can be rented in Invermere and pad-

dled around Lake Windermere and through the wetlands. Also popular on the lake is windsurfing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, tubing and sea-dooing — with boat and equipment rentals available in Invermere. The lake connects Invermere to the charmfilled community of Windermere (10 minutes south by road from Invermere), home of the famed Stolen Church. On the eastern side of the highway is the Akisqnuk First Nation community, one of two local Aboriginal bands. Akisqnuk’s Chisel Peak Outfitting company can take you on historical and cultural tours of traditional hunting grounds used by the First Nations for thousands of years. In the valley’s southern end you simply must pay a visit to the legendary Fairmont Hot Springs (20 minutes south of Invermere). This friendly resort town has maintained pools with gorgeous mountain vistas to enjoy while you soak. Continuing south along Highway 93/95 you’ll quickly spot beautiful Columbia Lake, which stretches all the way down to Canal Flats (30 minutes south of Fairmont).

There you’ll find the trailhead of the Source of the Columbia Greenway, the 1.5 kilometre interpretive trail at the mouth of the Columbia River. Canal Flats public beach in Tilley Memorial Park is a favourite among Canal Flats residents, with its boat launch, washroom facilities and swimming area. South of Canal Flats you’ll reach three stunning provincial parks: Top of the World, Whiteswan and Premier Lake. The latter have public beaches and campsites, but for each the drive in takes about 20 minutes. The all-natural Lussier Hot Springs are well worth a stop (with appropriate footwear), as is pretty Wasa Lake. Fort Steele Heritage Town, just before the turnoff to Cranbrook, is a must-see for history buffs with its wagon and steam train rides. Cranbrook, two hours south of Invermere, is the biggest city in southeastern British Columbia, with all the amenities you’ll want, but if you’ve got time for just one stop, make it the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the best museum of its kind in Canada. To round off your trip, take Highway 95A west from Cranbrook to see the characterful city of Kimberley, which is rich in history, public events and year-round activities. Kimberley Visitor Centre has all the details.

The Redwall Fault in Kootenay National Park is a colourful landmark only a short drive from Radium. The cliffs are stained by iron oxides contained in the mineral waters that have bubbled to the surface over millions of years.

Kootenay National Park as it stands today was created in 1920 as part of an agreement between the province and the Dominion of Canada. The federal government agreed to build the Banff/Windermere Highway (#93) on the condition that eight kilometres of

This beautiful, unspoiled area is filled with wildlife and the often-spotted Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep are some of the park’s best-loved residents. Also seen regularly are mountain goats (the park’s official symbol), deer, elk, moose and black bears. You can even spot the occasional grizzly on the avalanche slopes. When driving through the park on Highway 93, there are three major scenic viewpoints at Continental Divide, Kootenay Valley and Hector Gorge. There are also numerous stopping areas from which you can explore the many hiking trails the park is famous for. With 11 picnic areas and four seasonal campgrounds, the park offers visitors a wide range of day-use and overnight options: Redstreak, near Radium; McLeod Meadows, 26 kilometres north of Radium; Crook’s Meadow, 34 kilometres north of Radium; and Marble Canyon, 69 kilometres north of Radium all have water, fire-pit and washroom facilities. Accommodations are also available at the Kootenay Park Lodge and south of the park in Radium Hot Springs. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Kootenay National Park

The park is steeped in both human and natural history. Archaeological evidence suggests that its mountain passes and river valleys were Aboriginal trading routes for thousands of years. History shows that the First Nations and early European pioneers used the Paint Pots (ochre mud beds near the north of the park) for important ceremonies and trade.

Floe Lake is a sparkling jewel among the mountains in Kootenay National Park. The lake is only accessible by a 10.7-kilometre hike along the Floe Lake Trail, which starts at a parking area off Highway 93.

to their heart’s content. The area is ripe with trails for walking, hiking, biking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Mountain bikers are encouraged to try out the extensive fire roads dotted throughout the area, many of which start near the Kootenay Crossing Warden Station.

Another notable feature as you drive through the park is the fire-affected area in the northern end. During a single day in July 2003, lightning started five different fires in Kootenay and Banff National Parks, which eventually merged into one, burning 12.6 percent of Kootenay National Park.

The sparkling rivers and lakes of the park are fantastic for anglers, but a National Parks fishing permit is required. Permits and the Mountain Parks Fishing Guide, with opening dates and restrictions, can be found at the Radium Visitor Centre. Canoeing is allowed on the fast flowing Kootenay River, but recommended only for experienced paddlers.

The breathtaking beauty of these fire-affected landscapes can be viewed from trails such as the Great Divide, Stanley Glacier, Hawk Creek and Numa Falls. Due to the mineralrich ash that blanketed the forest floor following the fires, the area is now abundant in plants and is one of the best places in the park to spot wildlife.

“One of our strengths as a destination is not only the quality of the golf courses, but the range,” says Chad Thomlinson, of the Columbia Valley Golf Trail. “We can cater to recreational weekend golfers or first-timers at our Par 3 courses; we have a nice tier above that for those who golf more regularly and very high-quality topend courses too.” Everything you want and need is here: online tee-time bookings, affordable fees, plenty of driving ranges, full-service pro shops with knowledgeable staff and fullylicensed clubhouses with great food and brisk, friendly service. Golf vacation pack-

ages are available and most courses have lessons and rentals. Best of all, you’ll meet players from all over the world who share your love of the game. If you’re on a family vacation, you’ll want a family-friendly course. Children are welcome at all the valley’s golf clubs, but some courses are longer and more challenging than others and better suited to mature players. Call ahead and golf course staff will be happy to advise. Some of our favourites are Edgewater Hilltop Par 3, where you can enjoy great golf, followed by lunch and an excellent

Radium Resort boasts two great spots to play: The Springs Golf Course, which is consistently ranked in the country’s top 100; and Radium Resort Course, with three new holes for 2012.

At the end of a day on the links, nothing goes down better than great food. Some of the best restaurants in the valley are associated with golf courses.

here is the beauty and wilderness and how close you are to nature,” Mr. Thomlinson adds. “Almost every one of our welldesigned, high quality courses is nestled against the foot of the Rockies or Purcells.”

Wherever you play in the valley, just be sure to have your camera on hand. The scenery is so spectacular it’s sometimes hard to keep your eye on the ball.

And you needn’t confine yourself to the valley: just a little farther south, the cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley offer great golfing too. The backdrops are stunning once again and the golfing is great. Pack up your clubs and set out to enjoy a game!

Arts & Culture Barry Garbett enjoys a day of painting by Lake Enid as part of the sixth annual Paint Wilmer event .

he Columbia Valley is packed with artistic talent, from painters and glass blowers to the renowned Valley Voices Choir. The valley arts and culture scene focuses on bringing art to people and people to art. Pynelogs Cultural Centre in Invermere is the heart of valley arts and culture. It's home to the Columbia Valley Arts Council, a café, gift shop and art gallery. The unique, 97-yearold log building is a popular venue for workshops, concerts and private functions. Every summer, the Council coordinates a tour of local sites, filling each with talented valley artists and their works. The Tour of the Arts combines fascinating local sightseeing with art appreciation. Visitors can enjoy demonstrations, discussions with artists or buy their own little piece of the valley to take home. During the summer, visitors can enjoy Music on Main in Radium Hot Springs. Local musicians entertain the crowds on the village's Main Street on Thursday and Saturday evenings throughout July and August. Music lovers will find a calendar filled with

musical performances offered throughout the year by the Valley Arts Council. Musicians come from all across Canada to entertain audiences with folk music, jazz, rhythm and blues, Celtic, classical music, vocal harmonies, piano solos and more. The valley's own Valley Voices Choir puts on a spectacular Christmas concert. For film buffs, the Council coordinates Cinefest, a monthly independent film series offered in association with the Toronto International Film Circuit, and shown at Pynelogs. The films are both Canadian and international and range from dramas and features to documentaries and shorts. If you're looking to expand your collection, the artisans' co-op, Village Arts, offers crafts from more than 55 western Canadian artists. If you’re seeking local pottery, woodwork, jewellery, photographs or knitwear, this is the place to head. Art enthusiasts seeking pieces to purchase should also try the Artym Gallery, Black Star Studios or Effusion Gallery, all in downtown Invermere.

Our Featured Artist

Brent Heighton T he dramatic Rockies peaks and natural splendor of the Columbia Valley inspire this year’s Map Book cover artist every time he visits the area. An internationally recognized painter with over 30 years experience, Brent Heighton’s original artworks and reproductions can be found throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico and across Europe. There is a very good chance that you have seen a Brent Heighton in your travels, whether in an Italian trattoria, a corporate collection in Calgary or an upscale hotel on the Baja Peninsula. The Buck Stops Here, the local scene that graces the cover of this year’s Columbia Valley Map Book, was inspired by a walk Brent took in the area between Wilmer and Panorama Mountain Village. With family in the area, he visits often and paints on location or takes photographs to allow him to work from his studio.

Map Book cover artist, Brent Heighton paints en plein air.

Although he admits it’s a greater challenge, Brent regularly paints en plein air (in the open air) and after years of doing so, he’s picked up a few tricks along the way. One of his favourites is to wear wool socks over his hands when painting during the winter months. “You make a hole in the toe and poke your brushes through the end of them,” he explains, “that way you have full movement of your hands, but they stay warmer. In fact, the coldest location I ever painted was Lake Enid, just west of Invermere, in the winter.

Brent’s adventurous nature has led him to travel extensively, taking his paints and brushes wherever he goes, ready for inspiration to strike at any moment. And, after 32 years as a painter, Brent recognizes the impact artworks like his can have on others.

“It was so cold that the watercolour paint froze up and the painting turned into jack frost — you know when frost makes a design on the windows? Same thing. I could never get that effect again. Some artists get the effect using salt; I even tried putting paintings in the freezer. Nothing worked.”

“Art is one of the few things in today’s world that is completely personal and original and expresses what a person is,” says Brent. “It can inspire feeling, expression and passion in others. That’s the intrinsic value of art.”

In The Buck Stops Here, Brent captures the local area at its prime as a blaze of colour lights up the fall leaves, setting the valley aflame with gold, red, yellow and orange hues before the crisp chill of winter sweeps in.

2012 Columbia Valley Map Book

The Map Book

Cover Project “The chosen cover art for the 2012 Map Book grabbed my attention immediately when browsing the walls of The Artym Gallery,” says publisher Rose-Marie Regitnig. “It evoked in me such a deep sense of familiarity and home. It beautifully depicts the amazing ‘backyard’ we are fortunate to enjoy here in the valley.” This year, the Map Book and Invermere’s Artym Gallery have joined forces once more, selling reproductions of the cover art, The Buck Stops Here, by painter Brent Heighton to fundraise for charity. Brand new for 2012, the money raised through sale of these beautiful giclées (high quality prints) will aid not one, but two deserving local causes. The first is Columbia Valley Search and Rescue, a non-profit organization helping to keep our valley safe for all who live and recreate here. The remaining funding will go towards creating two bursaries for graduating students at the local high school. “We are excited to benefit not one non-profit organization, but two local causes this year,” says Grey Bradatsch, co-owner of Artym Gallery with Connie Artym-Bradatsch. “Like many people who live in and visit the valley, we love hiking, mountain biking and exploring the wilderness on our doorstep. Having Search and Rescue well trained and equipped is reassuring — one never knows when you or someone you know will need their help.” 100 per cent of funding raised through the sale of these reproductions will be put back into the community. For Columbia Valley Search and Rescue, the money will go towards the purchase of a much-needed piece of equipment: a portable radio repeater. “Columbia Valley Search and Rescue is

honoured to be chosen as the recipient of this very generous donation,” says Steve Williams, President. “One of the biggest factors in a successful search operation is effective communication … This repeater will allow our members to communicate in the mountainous terrain with the RCMP, the search manager and each other, making for a safer and more effective search.”

The life-saving organization, which is more than 20 years old, consists of around 20 volunteers who respond to between 15 and 20 calls each year. From missing children to avalanche rescue, the organization is an invaluable tool to keep locals and visitors safe. The second cause this year — supporting talented young locals to achieve their dream of attending post-secondary education seemed a natural choice, explains Artym Gallery’s Connie Artym-Bradatsch “Education is very important, so being able to provide bursaries for students is a great use of these funds,” she says. “Students are the future, and post-secondary education is a great way to support them.”

• • • • • •

The Columbia Valley Pioneer and Artym Gallery Bursaries will be awarded annually to two David Thompson Secondary School students going on to post-secondary education in the fields of media, journalism, graphic design or communications. Ryan Bavin Photography has produced just 100 giclées of The Buck Stops Here. The reproductions are 20” x 16”, costing $280 and are printed on paper, dry-mounted, varnished and framed. To purchase one, stop by the Artym Gallery at 934 – 7th Avenue, Invermere, or call 250-342-7566. To view the painting online, visit www.ArtymGallery.com.
