This summer we managed to spend 7 full days driving the 2.5hr stretch between Fernie and Radium in BC’s Kootenay Rockies. There was so much to see! With two massive mountain ranges overlooking a broad golden valley, the East Kootenays have a lot on offer for travellers of all sorts, but especially those into the outdoors. We canoed quiet lakes, hiked several dusty backcountry trails, camped on mountaintops, visited at a horse ranch, and dipped in natural hot springs… all in all the perfect little roadtrip.
