Kootenay Rockies (Bristish Columbia) MapBook | Backroads Mapbooks

Tucked away in the southeast corner of British Columbia, the Kootenay Rockies are one of Canada’s best kept secrets for outdoor adventure. As you travel west from the famed peaks of the Rockies, the crowds thin out and the opportunities for adventure multiply. Forested mountains conceal sunny valleys, where rainbow trout swim in sparkling streams, and deer graze peacefully by the water's edge.

A maze of logging roads penetrates deep into the backcountry, providing access to an endless number of campsites, hiking trails, and ATV tracks. In winter, the region is covered in a thick layer of light, dry snow, affectionately dubbed champagne powder by locals.

To help you make the most of this exceptional region, this new edition of the Kootenay Rockies Backroad Mapbook features numerous updates and improvements compared to the previous version:

• updated road network;

• addition of numerous multi-use trails and canoe/paddle routes;

• enhanced Adventures sections.

You will also find:

• updated fish stocking and trail tables;

• indication of private lands;

• and the designation of fish species for the countless lakes, rivers, and streams in the region.
