Starting above the North Eastern reaches of Washington and Northern Idaho the Kootenay Rockies is a pristine region of rivers, lakes, waterfalls, beaches, mineral hot springs, alpine meadows, and snow-capped mountains that take up South Eastern BC.

The spirit of mountain living thrives in the Kootenay Rockies. Four picturesque mountain ranges fold into the region that is renowned for its legendary adventures. Mountain biking has long been a staple activity among the locals during the summer and fall with late summer providing opportunities to experience the magnificent high alpine.
