Kootenay national park
Kootenay National Park is an area of incredible scenery and abundant wildlife. The park's long narrow profile is packed full towering summits and hanging glaciers that meet narrow chasms, broad forested valleys, arid grasslands and colour-splashed mineral pools. The best way to experience the park is to travel the 106 kilometre long Banff-Windermere Highway (Hwy 93 south) which cuts through the park from north to south and connects it to Banff National Park. Every twist and turn of the parkway reveals something interesting to explore.
