Kootenay National Park

Access

The Banff-Windermere Parkway (Highway 93) runs through Kootenay National Park. It is at least a 3-hour drive.

Kootenay National Park ("kootemik" is Indian for "places of hot water") is in the Rocky Mountains, in south-east British Columbia. It adjoins the more famous Banff National Park and Yoho National Park, and takes in the magnificent western flank of the Canadian Rockies.

Banff-Windermere Highway, 105 km (65 mi.) long, runs south from the TransCanada Highway at Castle Junction, 28 km (17 mi.) north-west of Banff, down to Radium Hot Springs, passing through spectacular mountain scenery west of the continental divide and following the valleys of the Vermilion and Kootenay rivers. These two valleys form the core of Kootenay National Park. There are plenty of parking places along the way so that visitors can explore the virtually untouched hinterland.
