| The
Kootenay Rocky Mountain Region of British Columbia is a vast
wilderness of rivers, lakes, waterfalls, mineral springs,
beaches, meadows and snow-capped mountains. Outdoor water
activities include canoeing, boating, cycling, windsurfing,
water-skiing and whitewater rafting. The area is
internationally renowned for its abundant
fishing
locales. On land, the region is one of Canada's best
destinations for mountain biking, and there are
dude and guest
ranches that offer authentic cattle rides. This is
also your chance to visit wonderfully restored heritage
towns,
bed
and breakfast and country inns, thriving arts
communities, and gold rush boom-towns. During the winter,
the Kootenay Rockies offers some of the continent's finest
powder skiing and snowboarding, as well as well groomed
cross-country trails. Wildlife flourish here so be on the
lookout for eagles, Elk, Mule Deer, Bighorn Sheep, Coyotes,
Moose, Cougar as well as Black and Grizzly Bears. Often you
can see them from your car as your drive down the highways. |
