Kootenays East / B.C. Rockies

Crowsnest Pass links Southern Alberta with the Elk Valley where the Elk River passes through Elkford, Sparwood, and Fernie before joining the Kootenay River near Cranbrook. The scenery of Elkford is lovely and the wildlife abundant. Nearby Sparwood boasts the world's largest tandem axle dump truck, larger than a house. The area is coal country and tours of the local mine are offered during the summer.

Fernie has wonderful skiing, mountain biking, and fly-fishing. The town is a charming railroad town with fine examples of Victorian architecture.

Visit Fort Steele where you step back in time to 1897 when the mining of silver, lead and zinc made the town prosper. View the 57 restored buildings guided by locals in colourful period costumes or enjoy a spirited comedy at the Wild Horse Theatre.

In Cranbrook visit the Ktunaxa Kinbasket Interpretive Centre and shop for First Nations' crafts at the Many Hands Cooperative. The Canadian Museum of Rail Travel located in Cranbrook has on display a unique collection of classic antique railcars.

Visit the unique shops of Kimberley sometimes called the "Bavarian City of the Rockies." Canada's largest cuckoo clock can be found here. In July, the sounds of accordions fill the town during the accordion championships.
