Toward the Last Spike and beyond:

Hike the Rockies.
A small part of them, anyway!
Picture sunshine filtering through a forest of tall Douglas firs. After crossing a cool, shady creek that tumbles down the mountainside to a pristine lake, the trail climbs into a glorious alpine meadow carpeted with wildflowers.

Soak in the hot springs.
Soothe your tired muscles in the naturally heated mineral pools of Radium, Ainsworth, Halcyon, Nakusp, Canyon, Lussier, or Fairmont hot springs.

Drive a spike at Craigellachie.
Craigellachie was host to the historic last spike, which linked Canada by railway from coast to coast.

Tour the Revelstoke Dam for free.
Take an elevator to the crest of the 175-metre (575 ft) high Revelstoke Dam.

Visit a few ghost towns.
Check out the famous ghost town of Sandon.

See the SS Moyie in Kaslo.
Step aboard the world’s oldest surviving sternwheeler, which once carried passengers and freight along Kootenay Lake.

Go skiing, boarding, or snowmobiling.
Some of the best powder conditions in the world are here, making it a mecca for skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobilers.

Float up the Columbia River.
Float in a raft, just south of Golden, and enjoy the scenery, birds and wildlife.

Spot elk, deer, bears, and goats.
Inevitably wildlife will be a part of your visit to the BC Rockies.

Golf on championship courses.
Creatively designed and beautifully maintained golf courses are found in every corner of the BC Rockies. Against a backdrop of breathtaking mountain scenery you’ll spot everything from scenic nine-hole courses to a concentration of championship resort courses.
