The Kootenay area of our province, in a spectacular landscape setting, is home to many unique features with a broad spectrum of flora and fauna. There is something for everyone, whether you are new to the naturalist perspective or a seasoned veteran. We invite you to join us for hiking trips from easy to strenuous as we explore this abundant domain.
