Kootenay National Park

Overview

Introduction

One of the four Rocky Mountain national parks, British Columbia's Kootenay National Park sits on the Alberta border and adjoins Banff National Park (you can enter Banff from Kootenay). About 350 mi/564 km northeast of Vancouver, this park is famous for its hot springs, which have been attracting seekers of a cure for decades. The park's cold-spring paint pots were a source of paint for indigenous cultures. It's also the only national park in Canada that can claim both cacti and glaciers. Be sure to see Marble Canyon, a picturesque area with a pretty waterfall.
