Our story On April 21, 1920, the Government of Canada agreed to build a road connecting the Bow and Columbia valleys. As part of the agreement, eight kilometres of land on either side of the road was set aside for a national park. The first cars to travel along the new highway bounced over bumps and chugged up steep hills, but according to a 1924 guidebook, “…every mile is a surprise and an enchantment.” A century later, Kootenay National Park continues to surprise and enchant. Visitors can relax in the soothing mineral pools at Radium Hot Springs, stroll through canyons, picnic beside glacial-blue rivers or backpack along one of the Rockies’ most scenic hiking trails. The park’s diverse ecosystems support a variety of wildlife, and newly unearthed Burgess Shale fossils reveal exquisite details about life half a billion years ago. Read on to discover more about what this amazing park has to offer. Z. Lynch / Parks Canada A place of global importance The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognizes four of our national parks – Kootenay, Banff, Yoho and Jasper – as part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. The parks are thus protected for the benefit of all nations and the enjoyment of all people. World Heritage status was awarded based on the stunning landscapes of mountains, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls and canyons, as well as for the incredible soft-bodied remains found at the Burgess Shale fossil sites.

    Kootenay Parc national National Park Kootenay www.parkscanada.gc.ca www.parcscanada.gc.ca Highway 93 South Area Plan Summary Summer 2011 Kootenay National Park, British Columbia Highway 93 South, a 104 km, two-lane scenic highway stretching from Castle Junction to Radium Hot Springs, provides a vital transportation link between Alberta and the Columbia Valley. The road also known as the Banff-Windermere Highway was built as part of an agreement between the federal and provincial governments that established Kootenay National Park in 1920. The road was opened in 1922, becoming the fi rst motor road to cross the central Canadian Rockies. The Highway 93 South corridor is the main focus of visitor activity in Kootenay National Park. In accordance with direction in the Kootenay National Park Management Plan 2010, a draft area plan has been developed for the Kootenay Corridor that addresses ecological issues, visitor experience and education opportunities along Highway 93 South from the Continental Divide to Sinclair Pass. A separate area plan will be developed for the park gateway in the Radium-Sinclair Canyon area. This newsletter provides a summary of key concepts and proposals that are contained in the draft plan. Parks Canada welcomes any comments or suggestions on this material. All input received will be carefully considered during the preparation of the fi nal area plan. Welcoming Visitors to Kootenay National Park The plan proposes the development of a small new day use area on the west side of the highway to provide a sense of arrival for visitors entering the park from Alberta.
