Get ready for some serious altitude in BC’s mountain playground

The Kootenay Rockies region is located in the southeast corner of BC. Sprinkled with snow-capped mountains, the area includes the Canadian Rockies, an array of mineral hot springs and an abundance of glacially fed creeks, rivers and lakes. Sharing a border with Alberta to the east and the USA to the south, the Kootenay Rockies is BC’s mountain playground.
