What’s Inside

Welcome to our valley “The Mountains Shall Bring Peace to the People” Radium Hot Springs Welcome Sign (est. 1928)

W

elcome to “valley time.” Life unfolds at its own pace here. Maybe it's something to do with the magnificent Rockies and Purcell mountain ranges rising up to the east and west, or North America's longest wetlands lazily winding its way through the valley floor. Whatever the reason, it’s magical.

One of the most beautiful gems in the crown of natural landscapes that the province of British Columbia proudly wears, the Columbia Valley is a destination not to be missed.

With just three points of vehicle access — from the north via Golden, from Alberta to the east through Kootenay National Park, and from the south via Cranbrook — the valley beckons anyone with a taste for adventure, wilderness, rural landscapes and tranquility.

“Village” of ice fishing shacks, Invermere.

2018 Columbia Valley Map Book

Elegance? We have that too. The Columbia Valley is renowned for its resorts.

And hot springs. At the heart of Radium Hot Springs are the famous hot pools in Sinclair Canyon where a relaxing dip can be followed by a luxurious massage at the poolside Pleiades Spa. The famous mineral pools at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort are complimented by three golf courses in the summer, and a family-friendly ski area in the frosty winter months. The valley is also home to three premier ski resorts — Panorama Mountain Resort, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden and Kimberley Alpine Resort — making it a mountain paradise for skiers and snowboarders.

Another winter destination growing in popularity is Lake Windermere, where you'll see ice fishing shacks scattered across its frozen surface — passing scenery for the cross-country skiers and ice skaters making their way around the lake on the record-breaking Whiteway, which, in 2014, was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's longest outdoor ice skating trail!

The new 17,000 square foot (1,600 square metre) Columbia Valley Centre open its doors this past fall, giving the valley a state-of-the-art facility for hosting functions, weddings and banquets, and last year saw the start of paving on sections of the 25-kilometre Westside Legacy Trail, which wends along the western side of Lake Windermere, linking the communities of Invermere and Fairmont Hot Springs.

There's just no end to the region's world class offerings: pristine lakes and rivers; numerous provincial parks, outdoor recreation opportunities for every season, a diverse selection of cosmopolitan restaurants, cafes and shops, a vibrant arts and culture scene, and the game of golf brings thousands of visitors to the Columbia Valley each year. With nine 18-hole courses, it is easy to see why golf is a major attraction in the valley.

How about golfing and skiing in the same day? It happens here!

Welcome to the Columbia Valley, or, as the local saying goes, “the warm side of the Canadian Rockies.” Stay a while, and you will never want to leave.

Columbia Valley

History

In the riverboat era saw swing bridges in Athalmer – the one shown here, and by 1913, a second one.

T

he Columbia Valley was originally home to First Nations groups, serving as a traditional hunting and fishing ground.

Both the Shuswap Indian Band and the Ktunaxa Nation made their living from the land, which provided food, medicine and materials for shelter and clothing. Both First Nations continue to have thriving communities, and place names such as Skookumchuck and Spillimacheen mark their influence on the region.

ore in the mountains as well as subsistence farming and ranching. A number of land settlement schemes in the 1910s drew immigrants here to make a living farming fruit.

Although less-than-ideal agricultural conditions prevented these ventures from thriving, many newcomers stayed to make a living however they could. In the 1920s, lumber became another important natural resource and economic mainstay.

The fur trade brought the first European arrivals to the area. In 1807, legendary explorer and fur trader David Thompson built Kootenae House on the banks of the Columbia River near Invermere. From there he traded goods for pelts with the First Nations and surveyed the mountains and streams in the area.

The natural beauty of the area was also a draw.

In 1905, local businessman Robert Randolph Bruce began to lobby for a motor road to be built between Banff and Windermere. After years of setbacks, his efforts resulted in the creation of Kootenay National Park in 1919 as well as the opening of the first road across the Central Rockies in 1923.

Early European settlement was sporadic. From the nearest train station at Sandpoint, Idaho, a number of small ranches and stopping houses crept up along the pack trail leading through the valley, up to the construction site for the Canadian Pacific Railway near Golden. It was only after the railway was completed in 1885, however, that the first towns were established.

Names such as Windermere (1883), Athalmer (1888), Fairmont (1889), Peterborough (1899, now Wilmer), and Invermere (1909) were added to the map.

The early economy supporting these growing communities was based on the abundance of

Just three years earlier in 1920, the valley saw the opening of the Canadian Pacific Railway bungalow camp on the shores of Lake Windermere. The central clubhouse of this historic site has since been moved to the Dorothy Lake area in Invermere (near Kinsmen Beach) and restored. The shores of Dorothy Lake also feature the historic building known as Pynelogs.

Built as a private residence in 1914, Pynelogs is currently a Cultural Centre and Art Gallery.

The valley ventured into year-round tourism in the 1960s. A rope tow and small warming hut were constructed at Panorama in 1962

followed by the first chair lift five years later. In 1964, a new pool complex and ski hill were built at Fairmont. Golf courses at both resorts soon followed, adding to the overall number of fairways spreading throughout the valley.

As visitors came to see, explore and use the natural attractions of the valley in the years after the Second World War, an increasing number also looked to stay here longer than a couple of weeks. Summer homes were built on the east side of Lake Windermere.

Today, non-permanent residents own approximately 70 per cent of housing in the valley.

The magnificent scenery, lake access, natural hot springs and proximity to world-renowned mountainous terrain continues to attract visitors to the region.

To learn more about early settlement and the region’s diverse stories, visit the Windermere Valley Museum in Invermere, the Golden and District Museum to the north, the Kimberley Heritage Museum and the Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway to the south, and, in Cranbrook, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the Cranbrook Art Museum, and Fort Steele Heritage Town

Golden

T

he oldest and most northern town in the Columbia Valley, Golden sits at the confluence of the Columbia and Kicking Horse rivers, surrounded by the Canadian Rockies, Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges.

A well-known paradise for outdoor recreation activities, it’s also a historic settlement, lived in and loved by a community proud of its heritage of intrepid exploration and mountain tourism, one that has defined the area for over a century.

Golden is also surrounded by six of Canada’s most stunning national parks — Yoho, Glacier, Banff, Kootenay, Mt. Revelstoke and Jasper.

These parks are quite popular, and therefore busy in the height of summer. We recommend visiting in late summer or fall when visitor numbers diminish, and higher elevation

trails are still accessible.

Use Golden as a base from which to experience the spectacular scenery, iconic hiking trails, waterfalls, lakes, and heritage sites of the national parks. Visit Yoho National Park, known as a hiker’s paradise and home to the stunning turquoise waters of Emerald Lake, the impressive waterfalls of Takakkaw and Wapta.

Witness railway history at the Spiral Tunnels or visit one of the most important fossil sites in the world on a guided hike to the Burgess Shale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Head west to Glacier National Park to discover some of Canada’s unique mountain heritage and spectacular natural beauty from park hiking trails to day-use areas and the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre. The Golden Hiking map features maps of Yoho and Glacier national parks’ hiking trails and local trails around Golden and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. It can be found at visitor information points in downtown Golden, as well as online at www.tourismgolden.com.

Year-round, the dramatic mountain peaks surrounding Golden attract hikers, mountain bikers, skiers, climbers, hang gliders and paragliders. Home to world-class heli-skiing and cat skiing, Golden also offers 240 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails and four maintained snowmobiling areas. Add to that 129 kilometres of maintained cross country mountain biking trails on the Moonraker and Mountain Shadows trail systems, a nationally acclaimed golf course, fishing, hiking, climbing, whitewater rafting and canoeing and you have an ideal outdoor playground.

The Kicking Horse pass and river were named for Palliser Expedition geologist, Sir James Hector, who suffered a near-fatal kick from a horse in 1858 while seeking a route through the mountains for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Today visitors can take a whitewater rafting trip on the river to follow Hector’s journey through the pass. The Kicking Horse river is world renowned for its class III and IV rapids, but rafting outfitters also offer gentler options for the less intrepid. New in 2016 the ultimate adventure thrill is a heli-rafting trip, a combination of helicopter ride into the lower canyon of the Kicking Horse pass before jumping into a raft to experience the best of the thrilling whitewater.

The renowned Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is located just 15 kilometres outside of Golden and features one of the highest vertical drops in North America. In the summer months, the resort offers a downhill mountain bike park and dining at one of the highest restaurants in Canada — the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant.

Visitors can also enjoy many eateries in Golden, ranging from quaint cafés to five-star dining, a new microbrewery, and the lively arts and cultural scene.

A visit to Golden isn’t complete without a trip to the Northern Lights Wolf Wildlife Centre or Kicking Horse Mountain Resort’s Grizzly Bear Refuge.

Golden is growing as an adventure sport event destination. June 16th and 17th, 2018 will see the third annual Golden 24 mountain bike race — a 24-hour endurance single and team event. On July 28th to 30th Golden hosts the first three stages of the Transrockies Singletrack 6 mountain bike stage race. In September the Golden Ultra trail running race features a variety of stages and challenges.

A diverse selection of accommodation in both downtown Golden and at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort caters to all budgets, from cozy bed and breakfasts, reasonably priced motels, hotels and seasonal rentals, and luxury vacation homes to charming lodges and rustic log cabins. Visit www.tourismgolden.com.

In the summer, don’t miss downtown Golden when it becomes alive each week with the

farmers’ market and Summer Kicks, a series of free concerts that take place in the Spirit Square adjacent to the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge. The bridge, which spans the Kicking Horse River in downtown Golden, is the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada.

Spillimacheen & Brisco With a population just shy of 70, Spillimacheen — named after the Spillimacheen River that empties into the Columbia — is located halfway between Golden and Invermere. Home to a number of artists and studios, Spilli, as it is affectionally known by locals, is also supported by an economy largely based on farming and ranching, and a number of home businesses including catering, bookkeeping and contractors.

It’s also home to the seasonal Spilli Station and bistro known for its terrific homemade meals and great view overlooking the Columbia River Wetlands.

Dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of these wetlands is the Friends of the Columbia Wetlands Society, also based in Spillimacheen.

In addition to its popular sport climbing area, Spilli Rock, one of Spillimacheen’s most famous attractions is Beeland, the valley’s apiary specializing in alpine honey. Located in the historic Spillimacheen Trading Post (est. 1912) just off Highway 95, Beeland has a seasonal cafe and produces a wide array of locally-made honeybee products, from unique flavoured honeys

Located 13 kilometres south of Spillimacheen and 27 kilometres north of Edgewater, Brisco is considered the gateway to Bugaboo Glacier Provincial Park, which boasts the deluxe Canadian Mountain Holidays Bugaboo Lodge, the Conrad Kain Hut (available for overnight bookings through the Alpine Club of Canada from June to September) located at the base of some of the largest glaciers in the Purcell Mountains, and impressive glacier-sculpted granite spires that attract climbers from around the world.

With a permanent population of about 170, Brisco offers amenities that include the Brisco General Store & Greenhouse (est. 1911), a gas station, a community hall, a riding club and arena, postal service, and easy access to the backcountry.

World-class rock climbing in the Jubilee Mountain area, mountain biking off Westside and Giant Mine roads, and hiking on the Lower Bugaboo Falls and Salmon Falls trails are just some of the outdoor recreation options.

Because of their proximity to the Columbia River Wetlands, both the Spilli and Brisco communities also offer easy access to canoeing and kayaking on the river.

Edgewater Edgewater has a bucolic, rural character

L

ocated 11 kilometres north of Radium Hot Springs with the dramatic backdrop of Kootenay National Park directly to the east, the tranquil hamlet of Edgewater is one of the valley’s oldest communities, having celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012.

A feature attraction is the wooden water flume (a viaduct for transporting water several kilometres for agricultural use) that was built in 1912 and is still in operation today.

Named for its location on the edge of the Columbia River, Edgewater is popular with families and retirees, offering affordable living and a strong sense of community to its permanent population of roughly 450 residents. The local economy is mainly supported by tourism, forestry and agriculture, as well as a substantial self-employed workforce.

Easily accessible from Highway 95, Edgewater offers a range of amenities including a volunteer fire department, a Royal Canadian Legion branch, Pip’s Country Store (which offers terrific hot sausage rolls and other snacks) and gas station, a post office, a shared ministry church, library and Edgewater Elementary School.

The village hub is the Edgewater Community Hall, which is the venue for an array of events, dances and performances throughout the year.

There is also a wealth of outdoor recreation

opportunities nearby. Within the community itself are an outdoor skating rink and ball park, which the Edgewater Recreation Society (the group also manages the hall) is the process of upgrading. Just a short drive south are Kootenay National Park and the Radium hot pools. Edgewater is also a favoured pull-out location for people canoeing or kayaking down the Columbia River from Invermere or Radium through the wetlands. Embarking from Edgewater and travelling downriver to the bridge at Brisco is also popular.

Located just north of Edgewater along the highway is the Edgewater Hilltop Par 3 Golf Course, which has all the amenities of any 18-hole golf course in the Columbia Valley, concentrated into a 9 hole par 3 course. The clubhouse is famous for its fresh pies baked daily with organic rhubarb and apples grown on site, and an adjacent RV park offers seven lots with full hookups and gorgeous views.

In recent years, Edgewater has made a name for itself as a fabulous outdoor concert venue with the annual Steamboat Mountain Music Festival. In its seventh year for 2018, the festival is held annually in July, and attendees enjoy a wide range of music and entertainment, surrounded by views of the Rockies and Purcell mountain ranges (visit www.steamboatmtnmusicfest.ca).

Individually Titled Cottages & RV Lots This pristine development is located in Edgewater, just a 7 minute drive north of Radium on Highway 95.

Come experience the views and the serenity.

Radium Hot Springs Columbia River wetlands below Radium

T

he charming alpine Village of Radium Hot Springs is the first destination visitors encounter when they emerge from Kootenay National Park through the sheer cliff walls of Sinclair Canyon on Highway 93, just moments after passing the world-famous Radium Hot Springs.

Nestled against the foothills of the majestic Rockies with the Purcell Mountains to the west, the village also has stunning views of the Columbia River Wetlands, the longest continuous wetlands in North America. The sweeping vistas of the wetlands, snow-dusted mountains and winding river tributaries make for a spectacular setting.

With its small-town charm, friendly people and numerous recreational and business opportunities, it’s easy to see why nearly 1,000 year-round residents and almost double that number of second-home owners choose to call Radium home..

The Radium Hot Springs Visitor Centre is currently been ranked the fifth busiest Community Visitor Centre in B.C. and is the only centre in the region open 362 days a year (closed Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day).

Operating side by side with Parks Canada six months of the year, the village’s Visitor Centre also focuses on educating the public about local and resident wildlife. The centre’s popular wildlife exhibit plays an important role in this experience.

A part-time herd of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, the village’s unofficial mascots, also calls Radium home. These majestic animals are beloved by visitors and locals alike, who have grown accustomed to their quiet presence as they amble through the downtown area during spring, autumn and winter.

Visitors flock to Radium from all over the world for adventure and rejuvenation. The village is home to the Springs and Radium Golf Courses, community parks, including Rotary Gardens, Stations of the Cross, wildlife viewing, hiking, fishing, whitewater rafting, climbing, and so much more. Those visiting in the winter can enjoy outdoor skating, cross country skiing or try one of the nearby ski hills.

Radium has a choice of fine restaurants, pubs, specialty coffee shops, and stores, all within strolling distance of one another. Everywhere you go, you will find a cozy environment and friendly staff.

With accommodation in every price range, Radium suits every traveller’s budget. Luxurious

resort rentals, motels, hotels, lodges, cabins, condos, bed-and-breakfasts, and a selection of full-service campgrounds and RV resorts.

The countryside stretching for miles around the Village of Radium Hot Springs is a sightseer’s delight. In every direction, visitors can catch a glimpse of local wildlife and stunning vistas.

This delightful community is becoming one of the most popular places to live in the Columbia Valley. Young couples find a safe, friendly and clean environment, while active retirees rave about the village’s walkable lifestyle and variety of leisure pursuits. Radium is also set to open the door on its brand new community centre, which will be taking wedding bookings later this year.

There are terrific opportunities to invest in business and real estate, and participate in community programs and events.

Radium Hot Springs Pools T

he famed Radium Hot Springs, located in Kootenay National Park, just a short drive from the Village of Radium, feature Canada’s most dramatic mineral springs pools.

Surrounded by rock walls, these natural, odourless hot springs are an amazing experience to savour any time of the year.

Today’s facilities are housed in the Aquacourt, a recently restored classified Federal Heritage Building constructed in 1951.

Naturally heated by geothermic hot springs, the hot pool is kept between 37 and 40 degrees Celsius and open daily. The hot soaking pool is the perfect place to relax and unwind after an activityfilled day. The 25-metre long cool pool, complete with diving board, is a wonderful place to cool off and for families to spend time together.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans in the 1800s, First Nations peoples bathed in the pools, believing the water had healing power. Sir George Simpson, then Governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company, was the first “tourist” to relax in Radium Hot Springs’ soothing waters while travelling around the world. In 1890, Roland Stuart purchased the 160 acres around the springs for $160. Stuart constructed the first concrete bathing pool, a log bathhouse and a

home for a caretaker in 1914 after receiving funding from multi-millionaire John Harmsworth. When the federal and provincial governments began negotiating the establishment of Kootenay National Park in 1920, Stuart had not returned from England following the First World War. His agent encouraged the government to expropriate the hot springs and Stuart received about $40,000 for his investment.

Turn your soak into a full day of adventure or relaxation. Escape the daily stresses of life with a treatment at Pleiades Spa and Wellness (located in the aquacourt), enjoy a picnic while sunning yourself on the patio, explore the forested walking trail to Redstreak Campground, relax in Parks Canada’s iconic red chairs, or get a bird’s eye view of the Columbia Valley from the Juniper Trail.

Towel and swimsuit rentals are available.

Locker use is required. Facility updates will continue in 2018. For information, hours and admission rates, visit www. hotsprings.ca or call 1-800-767-1611.

Shuswap band

he Shuswap Indian Band is a member of the Secwépemc (Shuswap) Nation, an interior Salish-speaking nomadic people who traditionally occupied a vast area in the south-central part of British Columbia.

Anthropological and archaeological discoveries, particularly the evidence of “kekulis” (semiunderground pithouses), connect the early Shuswap culture and way of life to the Upper Columbia Valley.

However, the Kinbasket Shuswap officially withdrew from the Ktunaxa Nation Tribal Council to re-join the Shuswap Nation in 2006.

Since contact with the European explorers and settlers, the Shuswap way of life has changed dramatically. Like many other First Nations, the Shuswap Indian Band’s traditional territory has become increasingly committed to tourism and recreation, as well as industrial and resource development.

Photo © NIkki Fredrikson

Chief Pierre Kinbasket and his twin brother Charlie were some of the first permanent settlers of the Kinbasket Clan in the valley.

They built pithouses and salmon caches along the Columbia River to Brisco that are still visible today.The Shuswap people developed an intricate system of travel corresponding with the seasons, as well as an important social and political system that governed their interactions with each other and the use of their traditional lands.

The system was passed down from generation to generation, through stories, using a rich oral history that continues to play an important role among the Shuswap to this day. The Kinbaskets traded and were allies with the Stony Tribe of Alberta, as well as their neighbours, the Akisqnuk — part of the Ktunaxa First Nation — resulting in mixed lineage and affiliations

that continue to this day.

Kinbasket Water & Sewer Company Ltd. is a self-sufficient water supply and sewage treatment plant that services the Windermere subdivisions of Lakeview Meadows, Black Forest Heights and the Cottages at Copper Point, as well as Canadian Tire, No Frills, Arrowhead Brewing Company, Kicking Horse Coffee, Home Hardware and the rest of the commercial frontage along Athalmer Road, all of which are a part of the Shuswap Band’s economic development.

Made up of a chief and two councillors elected every two years, the Shuswap Band Council is the administrative and governing body of the band, which numbers roughly 292 members, with 90 living on reserve. Visit www.shuswapband. net.

Wilmer L

ocated less than five minutes from Invermere, the historic community of Wilmer was the first community established in the heart of the Columbia Valley.

It was 1807 when famed explorer and mapmaker David Thompson founded a Northwest Trading Company post near the site of presentday Wilmer, naming it Kootenae House. This was the first trading post in the Columbia Valley and is now a National Historic Site located on the drive into Wilmer, locally known as Monument Corner.

Originally named Peterborough, Wilmer was eventually founded in 1886 and evidence of its long history can been seen in the original late-1800s buildings that pepper its streets.

One in particular stands out due to its excellent preservation — the beautiful Delphine Lodge, built in 1899.

18

Wilmer is also home to a popular annual fireworks celebration on Christmas Eve that continues to grow year after year. Wilmer residents are known throughout the valley for putting up the some of the best Christmas lights and many residents of other valley communities made it an annual traditional to visit the hamlet after dark at some point in the lead-up to the holiday to ogle the fine festive luminary displays.

Today’s Wilmer is a close-knit and family-oriented fully residential community with all the convenience of Invermere’s stores, restaurants, art galleries and entertainment just a few minutes drive away. Local amenities include a recently and lovingly restored community hall, a kids’ playground and an outdoor skating rink.

Located five kilometres west of Wilmer is Lake Enid, a popular day use area known for its picturesque trail that loops around the lake, ideal for hiking or mountain biking in the summer and ice skating and cross country skiing in the winter months.

Thielmann

Wilmer’s most famous resident, Conrad Kain, arrived from Austria in 1909 with the promise of employment as the Alpine Club of Canada’s first professional guide. Over the next quarter century, Kain made climbing history and is credited with the first ascents of many nearby peaks, including Bugaboo Spire and Mount Farnham. The Conrad Kain Cairn and Park in the centre of Wilmer is dedicated to his memory, as is a permanent exhibition at Invermere’s Windermere Valley Museum and a cairn on Highway 93, just north of Radium.

Its location on the edge of the Columbia River Wetlands provides ample opportunity for bird watching and wildlife viewing. Nature enthusiasts can while away the hours viewing the hundreds of species found locally, including the bald eagle, and may be lucky enough to spot the endangered peregrine falcon, American badger or leopard frog. The 787-hectare Wilmer unit of the Columbia National Wildlife Area protects some of Canada’s most valuable natural habitat for migrating waterfowl, fish, plants and species at risk. Wilmer is also a great staging point for backcountry adventures in quading, snowmobiling, hiking and more.

Panorama

Mountain Resort

Welcome to Pure Canada. Panorama Mountain Resort is the perfect year-round vacation destination. Steeped in the exquisite vistas of the Purcell Mountain Range and the Canadian Rockies, Panorama provides an authentic mountain resort experience that promises to connect guests with the surrounding wilderness, and with themselves. All of this: just a short and scenic 20-minute drive from downtown Invermere.

When summer arrives, so too do new experiences. Lift-accessed downhill mountain biking and hiking, kids’ activities, whitewater rafting, mini golf, fishing, ATV tours, horseback riding, interpretive trail walks, and climbing all begin when the snow melts and the weather warms.

Plus, the award-winning Greywolf Golf Course offers a holistic mountain golf experience that, with its alpine backdrop and manicured greens, is a Canadian must.

Whatever the time of year, Panorama is uniquely positioned to serve up four great seasons of activities, including an array of outdoor adventures. In winter, snowsports enthusiasts can enjoy up to 1,300 vertical metres of downhill skiing — the third largest vertical drop in North America. With more than 3,000 acres of patrolled ski and snowboard terrain, the resort offers 130 downhill runs, including 900+ acres of backcountry-style glory found in Taynton Bowl.

Of course, there is more to the mountains at Panorama. The comfortable convenience of overnight rental accommodations - from fully-equipped mountainside condos and townhouses to a budget-oriented hotel - make Panorama’s alpine village a great base. Just arrive and park: everything is a short walk away, even the chairlift. All lodging guests have the luxury to soak, swim and relax at the Panorama Springs Pools, year-round. Not to mention, Panorama’s culinary options are plenty, ranging from rustic to elegant, up-in-the-alpine or down-to-earth.

Panorama’s winter activities go beyond great inbound skiing and riding. Panorama is home to RK Heliski, a heli-ski and heli-board operation that offers fly-in access to the Purcell’s magical alpine powder. And the Panorama Nordic Centre boasts 28 kilometres of groomed trails, ideal for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and fat biking.

Looking to make long-lasting mountain memories? Panorama Mountain Resort experiences await.

A

n unbeatable location on the north shore of Lake Windermere gives the community of Invermere on the Lake a privileged place on the valley map.

Despite its humble beginnings as a small settlement on the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa and Shuswap First Nations, Invermere gained the grandiose name of Copper City in 1890 in hopes that the wealth of copper in the nearby mountains would one day result in an actual city. Ten years later, the name was changed to Canterbury, after the well-known cathedral city in England. This identity crisis was finally solved in 1909 when the name Invermere (Gaelic for “at the mouth of the lake”) was adopted. The town was officially incorporated in 1951.

Year-round recreation and events combined with gorgeous lake vistas and outstanding scenic views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains to

the east and the Purcell Mountains to the west make Invermere a popular tourist destination any time of year.

This picturesque lakeside resort community of 3,400 residents swells to nearly 30,000 during the summer, when seasonal visitors flock to the area to enjoy the fresh air, crystal clear lake waters, jagged mountain peaks and seemingly endless opportunities to recreate or relax in the great outdoors.

And thanks to its central locale in the Columbia Valley, it’s home to a thriving business centre and an Industrial Park that serves all the surrounding communities.

Visitors love the relaxed atmosphere of downtown Invermere, where they can casually stroll between restaurants, cafés, shops, galleries and bookstores. Defined by its proximity to

Downtown Invermere is bedecked in flowers come the summer months

Lake Windermere and the Columbia Wetlands, Invermere is popular with water lovers and sun worshippers for its two large beaches — James Chabot Provincial Park and Kinsmen Beach — and the public boat launch next to the Athalmer bridge provides lake access and free parking to boaters. And families love the abundance of kid-friendly amenities, from the outdoor Mount Nelson Athletic Park with its fields, tennis courts, skatepark, and pumptrack, to the Splash and Spray Park at Kinsmen Beach.

In 2017 the Columbia Valley Centre opened.

A community gathering space for the entire valley, it includes a 7,000 square foot (650 square metre) main room capable of banquet seating for 500 people plus retractable theatre seating and a central stage and a screen to accommodate live performances, movies and presentations.

The centre also boasts a large lobby/meeting space and a unique spectacular rooftop patio with breathtaking panoramic views of the

mountain ranges — and it’s the new home for the Invermere Public Library. Visit www. columbiavalleycentre.ca for information about booking this great new public space.

Summer is celebrated with a string of festivals that grow in size every year, starting with Canada Day when crowds routinely take over the downtown to watch the lively July 1st parade, followed by Bullriding in the Rockies and Valley Appreciation Day later in the month, and then the Invermere Music Fesitval in August to name just a few. And a summer Saturday morning in downtown Invermere isn’t complete without a trip to the famous Invermere Farmers and Artists Market that draws a weekly throng with its tantalizing selection of organic produce, fresh foods, live music, and local arts and crafts.

When the kids return to school and things slow down in September, Invermere is a relaxing fall getaway graced with summer weather often until late in September, when a paddle on Lake Windermere or a round of golf can still be

And the annual Winter-in-Motion Festival starting in December affords both locals and visitors the opportunity

to enjoy numerous winter events both on the frozen lake, the nearby ski hills and trails.

A fine selection of resorts, hotels, motels and inns provide plenty of convenient and comfortable places to stay either in town or nearby.

Nightly condo rentals are also available as are private rentals and bed-and-breakfasts.

Windermere

T

he serene lakeside community of Windermere sits on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere. Rich in heritage, arts and outdoor recreation, this scenic neighbourhood is located eight kilometres south of Invermere on Highway 93/95 and enjoys access to a range of activities.

The public beach in Windermere is one of the most popular in the valley. It’s perfect for the summer heat, with pleasant green spaces, picnic tables, washrooms, a playground and swimming areas. Easy lake access makes this a great spot for any lake-based water sport.

The first commercial buildings constructed in the valley were built in Windermere as early as 1883, with a number surviving to this day. Still to be spotted are the White House Hotel and the old RCMP barracks. Many of Windermere’s other original buildings have been converted into beautiful homes.

Today, the community’s amenities include a community hall, an elementary school, two highway gas stations, a bowling alley, Windermere Beach a small grocery store, two farm-fresh produce markets, a smattering of places to eat, Photo © Ryan Watmough and the classic White House pub.

With its spectacular north and south views of the entire valley, nearby Mt. Swansea is a locals’ favourite for hiking, biking, hang gliding and paragliding. The Windermere Valley Golf Course located at its base, with its beautifully maintained fairways, makes for a scenic golf experience complete with a laid-back atmosphere, a fully-stocked pro shop, teaching programs and restaurant.

During the winter, Windermere is a great base for excursions, either to nearby Panorama Mountain Resort, the ski area at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, or the Whiteway (see page 61 for information on this groomed ice skating and cross-country ski track that connects Wind-

ermere to other communities around the lake).

With its new home subdivisions and renovation properties, this growing community is increasingly popular with seasonal homeowners and young families.

If you love a good story, stop by the pretty St. Peter’s Church, also known as The Stolen Church. The building was taken by Rufus Kimpton from the town of Donald, near Golden, for Rufus’ wife Celina. Dismantled and transported to the valley via rail, wagon and riverboat, the church was reassembled in Windermere in 1900. History buffs should also visit the cemetery on the beautiful Windermere Point. The tombstones tell the story of early settlers in the Columbia Valley.

LAKESHORE RESORT AND CAMPGROUND

Lakeshore Resort and Campground is the Columbia Valley’s largest campground located on the pristine shores of Lake Windermere, British Columbia and is owned and operated by the –akis“nuk First Nation.

On –a—ki—‡aqu‰miyit (blue sky, a nice clear day) the view of the –aku“yu‰i–it (mountain ridge) is spectacular. You can spend your days soaking up the natani‡ (sun) on the beach by the –a—ku“nuk (lake) or perhaps visit some of our local area hiking – akmakniqams (trails). We are located approximately 20km north of the popular –a—knuku‡ (Hoodoo) hiking area. At night while you are sitting around your hak“mi‰ukwa–it (crackling fire), make sure you keep your eyes open for a ƒu‡unkana (shooting star) or two.

In operation for over 30 years, Lakeshore Resort and Campground is a strong component of the Columbia Valley’s regional tourism economy, as well as an active stakeholder with Aboriginal Tourism BC. In the fall of 2015, Lakeshore Resort and Campground was

the proud recipient of the Outstanding Achievement award from the BC Achievement Foundation in the Community Owned Aboriginal Business category, as well as we received the Hospitality and Tourism Business Excellence award from the Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce.

A unique feature of the Lakeshore Resort and Campground is our –a·kawut‰a–nam (tipi) circle.

We supply the “tent” and you supply the rest. The tipi is equipped with cap cots, along with a fire pit and picnic table outside of the tipi. The tipi circle is also the venue for our First Nation cultural events.

For the upcoming season, Lakeshore Resort and Campground will be holding regular cultural events which are open to the public. Check our website www.lakeshoreresortcampground.com for dates and details.

Akisqnuk First Nation T

he people of the Akisqnuk First Nation are members of the Ktunaxa (pronounced ‘too-nah-ha’) Nation who, for thousands of years, lived a nomadic lifestyle in their traditional territory, which extends through the Kootenay Region of British Columbia into southern Alberta and parts of the states of Montana, Idaho and Washington.

A growing community, the Akisqnuk First Nation (–akis“nuk) is comprised of approximately 300 members. Their native language, spoken

by Ktunaxa people throughout the traditional territory, is a unique First Nation language that cannot be linked to any other native language in North America.

The Akisqnuk First Nation (–akis“nuk) covers over 8,000 acres of the most beautiful land in the Columbia Valley. From its 14 kilometres of pristine shoreline along Lake Windermere and the Columbia River to the base of the Rocky Mountains, the Akisqnuk First Nation (–akis“nuk) territory is spectacular. In fact, the First Nation is the largest single landholder in the Columbia Valley.

A short drive from the airports in Calgary, Alberta and Cranbrook, B.C., the Akisqnuk First Nation (–akis“nuk) is ideally situated in the heart of the Columbia Valley.

Bordering the communities of Windermere to the north and Fairmont Hot Springs to the south, the Akisqnuk First Nation (–akis“nuk) enjoys excellent working relationships with its regional partners in both business and government, and is host to ever-broadening business opportunities.

The First Nation is home to the successful Indian Beach Estates subdivision, which is adjacent to Windermere and forms a neighbourhood in that community. Indian Beach Estates offers its leaseholders a stable and secure long-term, federal governmentguaranteed land leasing partnership.

The –akis“nuk community is very proud of its newest facility, The Columbia Lake Recreation Centre. Located at 3050, Highway 93/95. This 22,400 sq. ft. building will be finished by September 2018 and will be open to all residents and visitors. Everyone is invited to stop by in the fall and see our exciting addition!

eautiful Fairmont Hot Springs is on the banks of the winding Columbia River, 20 minutes south of Invermere and moments from peaceful Columbia Lake.

Fairmont is home to the world-renowned Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, a nearby cozy business community, and seasonal and yearround residents who delight in the picturesque surroundings and friendly resort atmosphere.

The mineral hot pools that first drew settlers to Fairmont can be enjoyed at the resort, home to one of Canada’s largest hot springs complexes.

Those enjoying more than 1.2 million gallons of fresh water pools and soothing 30 to 39 degrees Celsius temperatures have a marvellous view of snow-capped mountain peaks as a backdrop.

It was 1887 when George Geary homesteaded the land around the natural springs. But it wasn’t until the early 1900s that the springs’ tourism potential was recognized by William Heap Holland, an eccentric English cotton millionaire. The inventive entrepreneur drafted the valley’s first promotional brochure, which helped to draw scores of British tourists to the area. Starting in 1912, Geary harnessed

Canal Flats

C

anal Flats is best known for three things: as a hockey mecca with an atmospheric rink that attracts 5,000 tournament visitors annually; a one and-a-half kilometre trail loop to the source of the Columbia River – North America’s ninth longest river; and the site of a forestry mill with a 100-year history. It’s about to become known for more.

The permanent closure of the mill in 2015 has opened the door to a new and ambitious community vision: to be an affordable, familyfriendly, village building a new future in housing innovation, quality of place enhancements, tourism expansion, a new village centre, and employment centre expansion.

It takes a bit of pioneering imagination, but picture a new village centre featuring work-live buildings, new entrepreneur and employment opportunities created by conversion of the former mill site into the largest employment centre development in the Columbia Valley, beautification projects from planting to painting, and enterprise that features food and beverage-based agriculture, renewable energy, handcraft and woodcraft, and creators inspired by the setting.

Picture lifestyle-priced housing innovation that enables you to buy a home at 25 instead of 35 and fosters your entrepreneurial vision. Retire from the city 10 years earlier and leave money

30

in your pocketbook to do what you love, including exploration of Canal Flats’ photogenic backcountry.

Ah – the backcountry. Within five minutes you can boat on Columbia Lake, river raft or fish on the Kootenay River, or hike Mount Sabine. Or within an hour there are 15 golf courses, three mountain ski and summer resorts, a provincial park (that includes the Lussier Hot Springs – a must visit for those who want to soak amidst nature’s mountain cathedral), a national park, and endless trails offer good things for the soul.

House resale prices are already 50 per cent lower than the Columbia Valley average, 65 per cent lower than the metro Calgary average, and 85 per cent lower than the metro Vancouver average. Residential property taxes and charges on a representative house are the eighth lowest in BC. Canal Flats intends to further promote lifestyle by enabling a range of housing innovation, including home-based business-friendly housing, garden suites, secondary suites, and cottages in the true meaning of the word, or even neighbourhood-scale ideas such as ecovillages or agrihoods that put agriculture in the heart of the community. The point is to build a vibrant, family-friendly community of full-time residents by building housing that is unique and creative.

2018 Columbia Valley Map Book

For those seeking “upscale,” the Painted Ridge development on the shore of Columbia Lake anticipates its first housing starts in 2018. For visitors who want a cool short-stay experience, stay in a classic Air Stream trailer at the Flats RV and Campground on the shore of the Kootenay River.

And don’t miss the annual Canal Days celebration that takes place each year on the first weekend of June and features kids’ and adult dances, a parade, live music and more.

Kimberley

Kimberley offers a wide range of outdoor recreational opportunities.

T

he unique community of Kimberley, perched in the Purcell Mountains and with Rocky Mountain vistas, is located northwest of the City of Cranbrook and south of the Village of Canal Flats, with quick access to the Canadian Rockies International Airport.

With nearly 300 days of sunshine, Kimberley is the perfect holiday retreat and a good place to choose your own adventure. Year-round attractions provide plenty of options, from a float down the lazy river at the Aquatic Centre, a game of mini-golf at the Riverside Campground to endless outdoor adventures. Local hotels, bed-and-breakfasts and private rentals offer comfortable and reasonably-priced accommodations.

A great place to start your day is a stroll through the newly revitalized Platzl, a pedestrian-only shopping area featuring shops, cafes and restaurants, a water fountain and the world’s largest free-standing cuckoo clock. Stop off at the climbing centre, open year-round and fun for all the family.

The winter brings snowy adventures at the Kimberley Nordic Centre and the Kimberley Alpine Resort, just minutes from the downtown.

Located in the Purcell Range, the resort proudly boasts more than 1,800 acres of terrain, more than 80 named runs and glades, and a variety of ski-in/ski-out accommodations. Rent a fat bike and experience Kimberley on two wheels.

32

For some indoor winter fun, the city is also home to two indoor arenas and three outdoor seasonal arenas. The Kimberley Dynamiter hockey games at the Civic Centre are fun for the whole family. Go Nitros!

Kimberley Nature Park, located entirely within the city boundary, has more than 800 hectares to explore by snowshoe, or by foot and bicycle in the summer months. The Rails to Trails is a 26-kilometre paved trail from Kimberley to Cranbrook — walk, bike, run, longboard or even ski from one city to the other.

During the summer, Kimberley comes alive with festivals, including Julyfest, Round the Mountain and the Kimberley Arts on the Edge Festival. On the first Saturday of each month from May to October, visitors can enjoy daylong celebrations in the Platzl.

There are community fairs, plays, concerts, art exhibits and much more. Cominco Gardens has 45,000 plus flowers planted annually.

For a uniquely local experience, take a ride on the Underground Mining Railway to learn about the life of an underground miner (www.kimberleyundergroundminingrailway. ca). Originally a mining town, Kimberley was named in 1896 after the famous South African diamond mine. From 1917 to 2001, Kimberley was the world’s leading producer of lead and zinc at the nearby Sullivan Mine.

2018 Columbia Valley Map Book

Three golf courses are within city limits, featuring immaculate fairways and well-kept greens, making Kimberley a golfing paradise, including Bootleg Gap Golf Course (an 18-hole championship along the St. Mary’s River and 9-hole par 34 course); Kimberley Golf Club, situated high above St. Mary’s River, with 18 holes winding amidst ponderosa pines; and the 18-hole Trickle Creek Golf Resort, nestled in rugged alpine terrain below North Star Mountain.

There are plenty of nearby lakes, rivers and streams where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, rafting and boating. The suburb of Marysville, less than 10 minutes away, has unique shops and is always a pleasant stop on the way to Cranbrook. The trails of St. Mary’s Alpine Provincial Park await experienced hikers, and St. Mary’s 30-metre waterfall is just a short stroll from Highway 95A.

Cranbrook

T

he bustling interior city of Cranbrook is located at the southern end of the Columbia Valley and is the commercial centre of the East Kootenay region. Facing the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the north and east, this community of roughly 20,000 people has the best of city and country life.

Originally inhabited by the Ktunaxa First Nation, the land the city now occupies was chosen by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1898 as the administrative centre for its Crowsnest Pass route. The settlement that formed around the railway was incorporated as the City of Cranbrook in 1905. One of the best-known Cranbrook attractions is the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel (est. 1977), which offers tours of vintage passenger trains from the late 1800s through the first half of the 20th century.

The epitome of urban convenience in a rural setting, Cranbrook is home to 14 public schools, the College of the Rockies and the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The city has more than 50 restaurants, from convenient take-out to fine dining, with accommodation options

that include 25 hotels/motels and three fullservice campgrounds. The diverse economy includes forestry, mining, transportation, manufacturing, tourism, and a thriving central business district with several major shopping areas.

For sports and leisure, there are golf courses, almost two dozen parks, a recreation complex with an aquatic centre, three ice skating rinks and a curling rink, all surrounded by acres of unspoiled Crown land. The arts and entertainment options include a performing arts theatre, movie theatres, art galleries, historic attractions and more.

The Canadian Rockies International Airport is 15 kilometres northwest of Cranbrook along Highway 95A with regular flights to Vancouver, Kelowna and Calgary.

ST EUGENE

t. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino is the premier destination in the region combining the long Indigenous history with the most modern facilities. Just five minutes from the Canadian Rockies International Airport in traditional Ktunaxa territory, St. Eugene draws guests from across North America and Europe. The massive California Mission style building was the first regional residential school built in western Canada. After the residential school closed in 1970, the building remained unused for more than 20 years. In the mid 1990s the Ktunaxa Nation decided to create a resort with the restored building at the center, while adding more rooms, a casino, golf course and modern restaurants.

The renowned Canadian golf architect Les Furber designed the St. Eugene championship course running along the St. Mary River. On every tee and playing every hole, golfers discover another spectacular mountain view. The river draws

fly fishermen with a well-deserved reputation for exceptional cut throat and bull trout. The dining in the four restaurants is varied—from the Smokehouse Grill to the 19th Hole in the clubhouse, St. Eugene delivers cuisine to talk about.

The casino offers a chance to play in a comfortable, casual environment with every game from slots to blackjack. The St. Eugene RV Park opened in the spring of 2017 with the grand opening scheduled for early 2018, making it one of the newest RV parks in Canada under the KOA franchise.

In the spring of 2018, St. Eugene will be launching its new Speaking Earth program. Guests will experience traditional knowledge and culture interpreted by Ktunaxa Nation members in a hands-on environment. They will hear stories, scrape hides, learn to bead, play traditional games, and for one night, guests will also sleep in traditional tipis.

A-Z Around the Valley Photo © Ryan Watmough

From north to south, the Columbia Valley is an adventure playground for all ages, all year long. The scope of things to do can be overwhelming, especially if you’re a first-time visitor. Here is a quick A-Z list to give you some ideas on how to spend your “valley time.”

Bonspiel on the Lake

Beaches

Climbing Rock/Ice

During the summer months, there are a number of sandy spots to kick back on a beach towel and soak in some rays with warm water just a few steps away. In Invermere, check out James Chabot Provincial Park, or Kinsmen Beach with its urban amenities. Windermere Beach on the east side of Lake Windermere and Tilley Memorial Park in Canal Flats are also popular.

The Columbia Valley offers plenty of exciting places to climb, whether it’s on granite or dolomite in the summer or waterfall ice in the winter. Locals love the sport climbing at Jubilee Mountain in Spillimacheen and at various locations along Toby Creek near Panorama Mountain Village, while the internationally acclaimed Bugaboos draws climbers from around the world. During the winter, the valley’s cold temperatures and steep walls attract ice climbers to the 140-metre Gibraltar Wall in Canal Flats, the beginner-friendly Cedar Creek seeps near Spillimacheen and the challenging vertical lines found on the Stanley headwall in Kootenay National Park.

Bird Watching One of the longest intact wetlands in North America, the 180-kilometre stretch of the Columbia River Wetlands makes the valley a birdwatcher’s paradise. More than 265 species of birds have been recorded here. Don’t miss the annual Wings Over the Rockies bird festival held each May, which offers a full week of field trips, presentations and workshops.

Camping A great way to get even closer to the valley’s spectacular scenery is by camping. See RV Parks and Camping on page 60, and listing on pages 44-45.

Curling is a popular community sport in the valley with the Invermere Curling Club in downtown Invermere as its hub. A lively recreational league runs all winter long with the annual Bonspiel on the Lake as the season’s highlight. It takes place every January as part of the Invermere Snowflake Festival and teams come from across Western Canada as well as Washington and Montana to attend.

Farmers’ Markets

Canoeing/Kayaking Explore Columbia Lake, Lake Windermere or any of the valley’s spectacular lakes, rivers and wetlands by kayak or canoe. Rentals and tours are available from north to south.

Curling

The number of local artisans and food producers has grown to the point where bustling farmers’ markets can be found up and down the valley all summer long. Golden hosts markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the Radium Hot Springs’ Market on Main happens

2018 Columbia Valley Map Book

every Friday and select Saturdays, the Invermere and Cranbrook markets are each on Saturday and the market in Fairmont Hot Springs are on Sundays. Call local Visitor Centres for locations and times.

Festivals

Fishing The Columbia Valley’s pristine lakes, rivers and streams make for incredible fishing. From Golden to Invermere to Kimberley, a wide range of species can be caught, from rainbow, cutthroat and Dolly Varden trout to bass, Kokanee and lingcod. Whether shore, boat, fly or ice fishing strikes your fancy, you won’t be disappointed. Rental boats, ice huts, rods and tackle are available in each major centre. Better yet, treat yourself to a guided fishing charter, tour or expedition.

Flying If you like the idea of exploring as the crow flies, then head to the Invermere Airport, where you can get airborne with the Invermere Soaring Centre or Bavin Air. Scenic flights over mountains and glaciers can be had in Cessnas, ultralights, helicopters or gliders. The best soaring season is May to September.

Geocaching Geocaching is a great, eco-friendly way to explore the valley’s geological features and tourist attractions. Seek out hidden containers (or geocaches) on trails or loops that make nice and easy day-trips. Remove one item and leave one behind for future treasure hunters. Visit www.bcrockiestreasuretrails.com.

Golfing The Columbia Valley is a mecca for golfers, with 16 courses, from mini-golf to 18-hole games, situated within minutes of each other.

north to south with locals who know all the best spots. A variety of outfitters offer professionally guided big game hunts, family oriented horseback trail rides, fishing and hiking trips, wildlife viewing and eco-tours.

Hang Gliding/ Paragliding The valley has some of the world’s best sites for hang gliding and paragliding, with excellent thermal conditions and incredible cross-country opportunities. Check out the famous Mount 7 flying site in Golden (best suited to advanced pilots), Mt. Swansea in Invermere or the Panorama flying site. All offer stunning scenery and spectacular thrills. And be sure to check out Invermere’s annual Lakeside Event (also known as the Lakeside Splash) where pilots take off from Mt. Swansea and land in water targets in Lake Windermere below.

Hiking/Heli-Hiking Spectacular scenery can by accessed via endless trails winding through the valley’s landscape, which range from short strolls to strenuous multi-day treks. Visit the BC Parks website at www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore for details on any of the provincial parks in the region.

For a detailed map of the trails in Kootenay National Park (see pages 58 and 59), stop at the park’s west gate or swing by the Radium Visitor Centre. To find out how to access the backcountry hiking routes, your best bet is to pick up a guidebook or map, as the options are endless.

Horseback Riding Don’t miss out on a memorable way to experience the Columbia Valley’s scenery and wildlife. By horseback, novice to expert riders can explore stunning backcountry trails at a different pace. Sports and leisure riding stables pepper the valley’s communities and rides range from scenic one-hour trips to multi-day camping treks.

Hot Springs

Lakes Two of the most beautiful recreational lakes in southeastern British Columbia can be found in the Columbia Valley. Columbia Lake lies to the south between Canal Flats and Fairmont Hot Springs. It’s the headwaters of the Columbia River, the largest river in the Pacific Northwest.

Its waters flow through Fairmont before widening to create Lake Windermere, where public boat access is available at the north end in Invermere. The valley is also home to countless mountain lakes, perfect for fishing, boating and swimming.

Mountain Biking Epic cross country trails can be found in every community, notably the Cross River Canyon Recreation Trails at Nipika Mountain Resort,

If tourism in the valley was based on one thing, it would be the hot springs. Historically important in so many ways, the hot springs of Radium and Fairmont — two of Canada’s largest hot springs pools — attract thousands upon thousands of visitors each year. For those

Indoor arenas can be found in Golden, Invermere, Canal Flats, Kimberley and Cranbrook for recreational use as well as cheering on the local hockey teams. For those who prefer to play outdoors during the winter months, Edgewater and Radium have established outdoor skating rinks, while the District of Invermere grooms outdoor ice areas for public use at Kinsmen Beach and hosts the annual Columbia Valley Pond Hockey Championships on Lake Windermere each February. For an epic 30-plus kilometre outdoor skate, the Lake Windermere Whiteway is where you want to be (see page 61).

the Moonraker and Mountain Shadows trail systems in Golden, the Lake Lillian trails in Invermere, the trails at Fairmont and Panorama Mountain Resort, and Kimberley’s Lois Creek trails. Downhill diehards will love the technical steeps at Invermere’s Mt. Swansea and Golden’s Mount 7, as well as the lift-accessed mountain biking at the Panorama, Kicking Horse and Kimberley ski resorts. For a fun workout, head to the pump tracks in Invermere, Radium and Canal Flats. The Columbia Valley Cycling Society offers trail maps — pick one up at the Invermere bike shops or visit www.columbiavalleycyclingsociety.org.

Mountaineering For those seeking to climb mountains, there are terrific peaks throughout the Rockies and Purcells to choose from. Experienced mountaineers have a whole host of world-class alpine climbs in this region known for its range of choices. Popular spots include the jagged peaks of Jumbo Valley west of Invermere, Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park (accessed through Kootenay Park and home to the highest peak in the southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies) and Bugaboo Provincial Park near Brisco, which features some of the best mountaineering in B.C. The park encompasses extensive ice fields, some of the largest glaciers in the Purcells, and spectacular granite spires exceeding 3,000 metres in elevation.

Museums Discover what shaped valley history by visiting the following museums: the Golden and District Museum, the Windermere Valley Museum in Invermere, Kimberley’s Heritage Museum and Underground Mining Railway, and in Cranbrook, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel and the Cranbrook Art Museum, and the nearby historic site of Fort Steele Heritage Town (see page 33).

Parks: Provincial & National British Columbia has the largest protected provincial park system in Canada. In the Columbia Valley there are 15 provincial parks, including Golden Ears in Golden, Dry Gulch and James Chabot just outside Invermere, Whiteswan Lake south of Canal Flats and Top of the World northeast of Kimberley and Cranbrook (visit www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore). Visi-

tors can also explore any number of nearby national parks, including Kootenay (see pages 58-59), Yoho and Glacier in B.C., and Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper in Alberta.

Quad Biking If hopping on an ATV and exploring endless kilometres of winding forest service roads and old logging roads is your idea of a good time, then you have come to the right place. In a wilderness setting west of Radium you’ll find Frances Creek/Lead Queen Mine, with plenty of challenging terrain. The Paradise Mine road, 18 kilometres southwest of Invermere just off Toby Creek Road, is a popular scenic trip for off-roaders keen to explore the remnants of an early 1900s silver mine. Anyone riding in the area needs a valid licence and third-party liability insurance. If you don’t have your own wheels, rent or take a guided tour.

Rafting/Floating Whitewater rafting is a big tourist draw in the valley, with adventurous trips offered on the Columbia, Kootenay and Kicking Horse rivers, as well as Toby Creek, which carves through steep canyons in the Purcells before joining the Columbia. Gentler scenic floats are also available. Wind your way through the internationally recognized Columbia Valley Wetlands or down the peaceful St. Mary’s (Cranbrook) and Blaeberry (Golden) rivers.

Skateboarding Invermere’s Mount Nelson Skatepark and the Golden Freeride Park feature expansive plazas, large bowls, obstacles and more. The Kimberley Skate and Mountain Bike Skills Park showcases a wide variety of ramps, verts and rails for all levels. The Viking Youth Skatepark next to the Rec-Plex in Cranbrook is also rideable for all ages. The facilities are open for skateboarding, rollerblading, BMXing and mountain biking.

Skiing A river valley flanked by two rugged mountain ranges is the perfect recipe for fantastic skiing during the winter months. Nordic skiers will find groomed trails scattered through the valley for both skate and classic cross-country disciplines. The most unique trail system is definitely the Lake Windermere Whiteway.

2018 Columbia Valley Map Book

39

Nipika Mountain Resort, accessible via Kootenay National Park, maintains 50 kilometres of groomed trails, the Panorama Nordic Centre has more than 20 kilometres of trails with a warming hut, at the base of Kicking Horse Resort, Dawn Mountain Nordic Centre offers 33 kilometres of groomed tracks, and the Kimberley Nordic Club trail network even offers night skiing. For downhill skiers, there are four family-friendly options to choose from: Panorama Mountain Resort near Invermere, the Fairmont Hot Springs Ski Area, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort near Golden and Kimberley Alpine Resort. For those passionate about ski touring, there are more than 20 backcountry lodges to choose from in the Golden area.

In the central valley, the Columbia Valley Hut Society maintains five backcountry cabins.

There are also backcountry cabins less than an hour west of Canal Flats and a single hut to the northwest of Kimberley.

Star gazing

Snowmobiling

No matter where you go in the valley, you’re almost guaranteed to see wildlife in action.

Common sights include bighorn sheep herds in Radium, deer in Invermere, and black and grizzly bears relaxing in the grass along the highway through Kootenay National Park. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot some wild turkeys, or catch a glimpse of coyotes, wolves, cougars and more. Visit the interactive wildlife exhibit at the Radium Visitor Centre to learn more about the species that call the valley home.

Sporting Events Any number of events across a broad range of disciplines can be found here, whether it’s running up and down a mountain, biking singletrack trails, or testing your mettle in a triathlon. See Events on pages 41.

SUP (stand-up paddleboarding) The stand up paddleboard craze has definitely caught on in the valley. Paddleboards are available for rent and for purchase, and if you’re not confident heading out on your own, join a guided tour to learn the basics under the watchful eye of an expert.

Wildlife Viewing

Ziplining Seemingly overnight the Columbia Valley has become a zipline mecca. A pair of brand-new zipline courses opened here last year in the span of a few months — the six-line Mountain Mineral Ziplines at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and the seven-line Valley Zipline Adventures just off Highway 93 south of Radium Hot Springs. Both offer a thrilling experience with spectacular valley views.

With its moderate to extreme mountain terrain, light dry snow and eye-popping scenery, the Columbia Valley is a mecca for snowmobilers of every level. Mid-valley options include the Forster Creek and Catamount Glacier (open from February 15 to May 31) areas near Radium Hot Springs, the Brewer Creek trail near Invermere and the Doctor Creek route near Canal Flats. In Golden, sledding areas range from groomed trails to steep and remote alpine. Guided tours are also available.

For anyone taking a break from city lights and noise pollution, the Columbia Valley’s beautiful night skies are mesmerizing. On a clear evening, they are twinkling tapestries of stars — literally a heaven for amateur star gazers and professional astronomers alike.

From luxurious resort suites to privately owned and fully stocked alpine chalets to reasonably priced inns and hotels, there are over 3,000 sites and rooms to choose from.

With so much to see and do in the Columbia Valley, you’ll find it near-impossible to stay just for one day. Fortunately, our range of welcoming accommodations can meet your every need.

For short-term accommodation, be sure to call ahead for reservations. Summer in the valley is the busiest season, but the region is getting increasingly busy all year round as more people discover this four-season paradise.

Resort Communities If you want a no-fuss, lock-and-leave lifestyle, the valley’s upscale resort communities are 42

ideal, from Fairmont Hot Springs Resort to Panorama Mountain Resort to Golden’s Kicking Horse Resort and the smaller resort communities in between. They offer luxurious furnished suites, sometimes fully stocked, with plenty of amenities such as spas, golf courses, ski hills, fine restaurants, fitness and business facilities, and more. Whole or fractional ownership of suites are available. Condo fees vary according to luxury level.

Hotels and Motels Coming to the valley for a quick trip? For some visitors, that might mean one to two nights; for others, they may have a week or a month to enjoy all the valley has to offer. Regardless of the length of time you have to spend here, you have plenty of options when it comes to finding comfortable and convenient accommodation to suit your needs.

Those who like having their car parked right outside their room have a plethora of quaint and cozy motels to choose from (think Radium and the row of picturesque motels lead-

Condominiums The valley has a great selection of new and resale apartment condos, townhomes and detached single-family homes in developments with a few key services and modest condo fees.

New Home Sites There is a terrific selection of building lots available, from cottage lots nestled among the trees to estate lots with sweeping vistas of lakes and mountains. A range of budgets can be catered to, from small, modestly priced properties to vast acreages.

Custom Homes If you’ve got a dream home in mind, the valley’s fantastic custom builders can help make it a reality. They will work with you from start to finish to ensure that you get the exact home you want, in the perfect location to suit your needs.

Resale Homes and Land The valley has plenty of older homes just waiting for fresh ideas. Many of these gems have choice views and are close to shops, restaurants and recreation, offering an established community location with no condo fees. All the goods, services and skilled labour you need to renovate can be found locally.

Permanent RV sites Permanent RV sites are available for lease or purchase at Dutch Creek RV Resort and the Hoodoo Mountain just south of Fairmont, Shadybrook Resort in Windermere, Mountain Shadows RV Resort in Dry Gulch, Valley’s Edge Resort in Edgewater, Spur Valley Resort in Spur Valley and Columbia River Wetlands RV Park, just 20 kilometres south of Golden.

DINING

P

art of the thrill when experiencing a new place is savouring the tasty concoctions served up by the local restaurants. And there are many to choose from in the Columbia Valley.

The first thing to do is pick up Let’s Eat, the annual Columbia Valley culinary magazine. A handy publication with a comprehensive list of every eatery between Spur Valley and Canal Flats, it will help you find the meal you are looking for, whether it’s a traditional burger and fries, exquisitely designed sushi, European flavours or ethnic cuisine. Food culture in the valley is strong. Maybe it’s the fresh, mountain air that awakens the tastebuds. No matter how picky your palate, you’ll find what it is your heart desires amid the valley’s excellent collection of coffee shops, restaurants and pubs.

Looking for a coffee or a treat with a view? In Radium, relax on the pleasant patio of Big Horn Cafe. Renowned fair trade coffee company Kicking Horse Coffee is located on the way into Invermere, stop at the uber-modern café for a delicious cup of coffee straight from the source.

One of downtown Invermere’s newest venues is Circle Cafe, a popular meeting spot with whole foods menu and delightful atmosphere.

For a delectable gelati, head to Gerry’s Gelati (in both Radium and Invermere).

Later in the day, discover the mouth-watering Mediterranean cuisine of Tony’s Greek Grill in Fairmont Hot Springs (summer only), soak in some sun on the outdoor patio of From Scratch – A Mountain Kitchen, a chic bistro with delicious made in-house meals and artisan retail goods, or check out Edibles Cafe, situated on the family-owned and operated Winderberry farm just outside Windermere.

For a hearty, filling dinner, try Helna’s Stube, with its range of authentic Austrian fare, or the Old Salzburg for delicious Bavarian and western dishes. For something different, Fuze Food and Smoothie Bar, serves fast, fresh food with an ethnic flare suitable for most dietary restrictions. A few doors down, Fubuki Sushi caters to sushi lovers with an incredible menu.

In downtown Invermere, you’ll also find the Birchwood Restaurant, a relaxed eatery with elegant seasonal dishes; and Strand’s Old House Restaurant, which offers casual fine dining in the intimate atmosphere of an historic house.

No matter where or how you dine in the Columbia Valley, you’ll enjoy efficient service with a warm smile. Many of the valley’s restaurants are family owned and operated, with a long tradition of pleasing visitors from around the world.

Restaurant & Lounge Open: high season for lunch, low season from 5 p.m., daily.

Kootenay National Park offers diverse terrain as well as guided tours to a fossil site.

F

rom tiny, prickly pear cacti to magnificent hanging glaciers, explore a world of incredible contrasts. Established in 1920 around plans to build a road connecting the Columbia Valley to markets in Banff and Calgary, Kootenay National Park protects 1,406 square kilometres of spectacular Rocky Mountain landscape.

Every twist and turn of the historic Banff-Windermere Highway, today BC Highway 93, reveals something interesting to explore. From the blue-grey walls of Marble Canyon and rushing turquoise waters of Tokumm Creek to fuchsiacoloured fireweed lining trails to backcountry treasures, and the red cliffs and shattered rock of Sinclair Canyon — this place has it all!

Stroll alongside glacial-fed lakes, picnic next to rushing rivers, soak in the soothing waters of Radium Hot Springs or lace up your hiking boots for an epic backcountry hiking adventure. Along Highway 93 South, there are scenic viewpoints, numerous day use areas and 200

58

kilometres of hiking trails to explore. Download the Kootenay National Park Explora app before you get here and enjoy a driving tour through the park with Parks Canada Staff. Hear behind the scenes stories about wildlife and wildfires and see how the park has changed over the past 100 years.

During peak season (mid-June until early September), there are more than 300 campsites available in Kootenay National Park. Demand is heaviest on long weekends between May and October and all weekends in July and August.

Reservations are available and highly recommended for Redstreak Campground.

Located in the southern portion of Kootenay National Park overlooking the Village of Radium Hot Springs, Redstreak Campground has a magnificent view of the Columbia Valley and Purcell Mountains. This 242-site campground provides a variety of amenities including full, semi and non-serviced sites, as well as ten oTENTik tent cabins that can be rented on a

2018 Columbia Valley Map Book

nightly basis. Each oTENTik sleeps up to six people and includes homey comforts such as high-density foam mattresses for a restful night’s sleep, raised wooden floors, and a spacious indoor sitting area for late night card games. Participate in daily interpretive programs, enjoy a gentle hike to the hot springs, or take a stroll through the Village of Radium.

Don’t forget your camera as bighorn sheep are often seen wandering through the campground and adjacent restoration area!

In the north end of Kootenay National Park, Marble Canyon Campground is only a short drive from spectacular hiking trails including Stanley Glacier, Floe Lake and Ball Pass. The campground’s close proximity to Banff and Yoho national parks makes day hikes on the Iceline, Taylor Lake, Bourgeau Lake and Twin Lakes trails a breeze.

McLeod Meadows, set in the centre of Kootenay National Park, is the perfect secluded sanctuary for families looking to unplug. Listen to the sound of the Kootenay River and watch for wildlife, including deer and elk. Enjoy a gentle hike to Dog Lake then take a short trip down the highway to the Village of Radium for dinner and a soak in the hot pools. Amenities for McLeod Meadows and Marble Canyon campgrounds include private sites for tenting and RVs with access to washroom facilities and running water.

The international spotlight continues to shine in Kootenay’s natural history following the announcement of a Burgess Shale Fossil site discovered near Marble Canyon. In 2014, paleontologists from the Royal Ontario Museum spent nine weeks in the park studying the new find. Want to learn more about the Burgess Shale and its significance? Join a Parks Canada interpreter for a guided hike to the fossil site near Stanley Glacier. Reservations are required.

Visitors share Kootenay’s landscape with diverse wildlife. Home to bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer, moose and black and grizzly bears.

Wildlife can be spotted anytime, anywhere. It is not easy being an animal in the mountains.

To find food, connect with a mate or rear their young, animals need to move through a landscape that is pinched by rivers, rock, ice, predators and even busy roads. Visit the new exhibit in the Radium Hot Springs pool’s pedestrian underpass this summer to discover how Parks Canada is helping wildlife safely cross the highway through the Kootenay Valley.

Visit www.reservation.parkscanada.gc.ca or call 1-877-737-3783 to book your spot on a Burgess Shale guided hike or in Redstreak Campground.

For more information, visit www.parkscanada.gc.ca/Kootenay.

And don’t forget: Youth enter the national parks for free! Get your Parks Canada Discovery pass online or at the Information Centre.

The Whiteway W

hether your passion is cross country skiing, ice skating, ice fishing, or just the plain thrill of walking and driving across a frozen lake, Lake Windermere delivers during the coldest months of the year, when the water freezes over and a smooth, icy surface forms from the north end to the south.

And since 2006, the valley’s local Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club has been funding and maintaining a groomed ice skating and cross country ski track on the frozen lake, that connects the communities of Invermere, Windermere and beyond.

Known as the Lake Windermere Whiteway, it has become synonymous with winter outdoor recreation in the valley and is a frosty treat for residents and visitors each year.

In 2014, the Whiteway earned the Guinness World Record title for the world’s longest outdoor skating trail. In January 2015, the world record was celebrated with a formal ceremony and the inaugural Whiteway Winter Festival at Kinsmen Beach in Invermere.

The Whiteway accommodates both classic and skate cross country skiing techniques as well as recreational ice skating in a mountainous setting that’s second to none.

Originally a 17-kilometre trail, the Whiteway has grown to over 30 kilometres long and six metres wide (for ice skaters) when conditions allow.

The impressive scale of the Whiteway has attracted international attention and is the focus of a new tourism video for the region. In 2012, Discovery Channel’s Mark Miller did a segment on the impressive attraction in his weekly science show the “Daily Planet.”

The Nordic Club asks that users either pay an individual day-use fee of $5, or purchase a membership to the club. Memberships and donations can be completed online, by mail or dropped in the secure donation boxes at information kiosks found on the Whiteway.

The funds are used to provide ongoing maintenance of the track throughout the winter months. Club members are also covered by group insurance through Cross Country BC while using the Whiteway. Visit www.tobycreeknordic.ca for more information.

To learn more about the Whiteway, watch the official video on YouTube by searching “World’s Longest Ice Skating Trail - The Whiteway Take Me There” or visit the Facebook page @ LakeWindermereWhiteway.

Westside Legacy trail W

alkers, joggers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts unite! Construction of the Westside Legacy Trail began in summer 2017 with several segments open to the public during the fall. Work will continue this year. The trail is a multi-recreational, human-powered, paved trail connecting the communities of Invermere and Fairmont Hot Springs — a total distance of 25 kilometres.

Paralleling the Westside Road, the Westside Legacy Trail offers a safe, natural setting to enjoy the vistas and unique terrain of western Lake Windermere. Spearheaded by the Columbia Valley Greenways Trail Alliance, the $5 million project began as little more than a conversation between friends, and blossomed into a tight-knit and passionate group of donors, volunteers, landowners and organizers.

The trail connects full-time residents, part-time residents and visitors, and is built upon land donated by local landowners (eight in total).

There’s no cost to enjoy the trail; simply share your experience with your friends and family, and give a happy wave to anyone you see on your journey.

To learn more about the Legacy Trail, visit www.ourtrail.org. To learn about Greenways and other trail projects in the Columbia Valley please visit www.greenways.org.

Whether you’re visiting or living here full-time,

young or old, religiously active or just getting some fresh air, the Westside Legacy Trail is designed for everyone. Enjoy a natural setting at your own pace, and depart from one of the four designated parking areas, each offering a unique experience and difficulty. Take a breath on one of the many benches, enjoy a snack at one of the seven picnic areas, learn about the history of the area at one of eight interpretive area along the trail, or just relax above a cool shaded creek. You’re almost guaranteed to find something you love while doing something you love.

Map Book

Cover Project The publishers of the Map Book are excited to have Angela Morgan back as the feature artist for the 2018 Map Book cover project. Angela’s painting of children discovering and playing in the nature that is found in the Columbia Valley is something we can all relate too.

For the last 14 years, the image that has adorned the Map Book has been reproduced in limited quantities, with the monies raised being donated to fund worthwhile community projects. Past projects have raised tens of thousands of dollars and include the Westside Legacy Trail, completion of the Rotary Splash Park, the purchase of a new rescue vehicle by the Invermere Fire Department, and many other great causes.

The Columbia Valley is a great place for yearround outdoor activity. However there are times when a person wants to just work out, or get the motivation and camaraderie that comes by joining a fitness facility. This year’s Map Book recipient is the perfect answer for that. The Valley Fitness Centre (VFC as it’s called locally) is a nonprofit society that provides accessible fitness and recreation opportunities to both residents and visitors of the Columbia Valley.

The VFC is more than 6000 square feet (560 square metres) and features a large weight room, cardio area, women’s only area, fitness studio, modern change areas, and in-house instructors. There is a fantastic range of quality fitness programs including Zumba, spin classes, bootcamp, qigong, yoga, circuit training, and free weight training.

64

The building was originally built as part of the neighbouring inn, but was transformed into its current form by the Valley Fitness Society in 1987 when they moved in. Over the years the VFC has kept up with the growth of the valley, however the time is here for better storage and more space. Monies raised from the Map Book cover project will help ensure the VFC, which reinvests all profits back into the operation and enhancement of the fitness centre, can keep up with demand.

The VFC is open year-round, seven days a week from 4 a.m to midnight with key tag access for after staffed hours. Located at 722 14th Street, the centre welcomes drop-ins and is always happy to tour, assist, or just plain help out with any questions or concerns. A full web site with schedules of classes is available for viewing at valleyfitnesscentre.ca, or a quick call can be made to them at 250-342-2131.

Admission is quite flexible — there are options for onetime drop-in fees, punch cards, and monthly and yearly memberships. Prices are kept low to ensure that this nonprofit is accessible to all and a seniors price is available too!

The Artym Gallery will make 100 copies (called giclées) of the cover painting available to help the VFC. The giclée’s measure 20 inches by 16 inches (50 centimetres by 40 centimetres) and are framed ready to hang. The images are priced at $390. To purchase a giclée and support this great non-profit, or to see more of Angela Morgan’s work visit The Artym Gallery in downtown Invermere (located at 934 7th Avenue, Invermere’s main street), call the gallery at 250-342-7566 or visit www.artymgallery.com.

2018 Columbia Valley Map Book

Featured Artist Angela Morgan

T

his year’s cover painting is titled ‘then we will walk upon two’ and refers to “going hand in hand into the world… exploring”, as Angela puts it.

It brings to mind the warm days, when we were kids playing outside and everything was worthy of a longer look; butterflies, dandelions, a spider…it didn’t matter, it was all so new. That is what Morgan captured in her cover painting — the naivety and innocence of youth.

Angela Morgan (nee Harlton) is more than a professional artist, she is also about as fashion aware as they come, and this is also captured in her work. Whether it’s the kids in bathing suits, a ride up the ski lift, or the gals all dolled up having a martini, Angela dresses them in such a manner that we stop and go “wow.” Morgan has a keen yet whimsical eye for projecting what should be all the current rage.

One of the most common questions an artist hears is “where do you get the titles from?”

There isn’t a one sentence reply. Sometimes an amusing line triggers a picture in the mind that transfers to canvas. Sometimes emotions seek words for expression but must first stop on canvas for translation. Occasionally a forgotten quote gets rediscovered by an artist and must be put into modern context. The titles all have humorous, positive results and are as much a part of the painting as the oil paint on canvas.

Morgan focuses her energy on creating original paintings and doesn’t do prints or reproductions. This also makes the Map Book cover project so unique. A purchaser has the chance to have an Angela Morgan piece and also sup-

port a worthwhile cause.

Angela Morgan completed her bachelor in fine arts degree in April of 2000 ending a 10-year education that took her to North Dakota, Quebec, Saskatchewan and lastly, Alberta.

Currently residing in southern B.C., Morgan’s work can be found in Widen, Switzerland; Dublin, Ireland, and galleries across Canada.

lk Park Ranch is a mountain development like no other; one which borders Kootenay National Park where future development is limited.

Whether looking for a property in the Elk Park Community, or on one of our Ranch properties, you will appreciate your ability to get back to nature, find your calm, and just reconnect in a relatively undisturbed mountain environment.

At Elk Park Ranch, we’ve taken the time and set strict architectural guidelines to ensure that the natural setting you want is preserved. This helps to keep the initial calm feeling you fell in love with consistent.

200+ acres in the north end of Radium Hot Springs
