Kootenay Trips and Trails

If you are interested in everything from backcountry exploring to lounging in a hot springs pool, southern British Columbia's Kootenay-Columbia region has it all. A rich and colorful mining history that rivals the famous Caribou; the region's highest peaks; best alpine heli-skiing; most historic rail-trails; biggest lakes; orchards, wineries and breweries. This is a land that can keep visitors enthralled for years to come.

Murphy Shewchuk's Kootenay Trips and Trails explores the region from the US border north to Valemount (near Jasper) and from the height of the Rockies west to the Okanagan. He does it with personal insights, detailed descriptions, maps and photographs.
