In between bRITIsH are valleys, rivers and lakes that have enabled human existence for thousands of years. Incomparable scenic beauty is waiting to be explored around every turn. In the midst of this monumental landscape, geography, geology and history have cOLUmBIA’S conspired to create charming Victorian small towns. This is the birthplace of adventure tourism. Picture Victorian men and women, MOUNTAIN devoid of high-tech gear, roped to Swiss mountain guides as they traversed the icefields of Glacier National Park. Today, visitors come to the Kootenay Rockies for a rich palette of recreational activities that includes world-class hiking, biking, pLaYgRouND climbing, river rafting, paragliding, canoeing, golfing, wildlife viewing..

It is within the central part of the Kootenay Arc, a north-trending arcuate structural zone that lies east of the Shuswap MetamorphicComplex and merges in the east with the Purcell anticlinorium. Rocks within theRiondel area havebeen correlated with a Lower Paleozoic sequence exposed along the trend of the arc to the north and south. This sequence includes domi- nantlyquartzite andschist of theHamill Group, overlain by interlayered calcareous schist, quartzite, and marble of the Mohican Formation, a persistent and extensive Lower Cambrian marble, the Badshot Formation, and dominantly micaceous schist, calc-silicate gneiss, and amphibolite gneiss of the basal part of the Lardeau Group. The structure of the area is dominated by a series of west-dipping tight toisoclinal folds (Phase 2) that are superposed on the inverted underlimb ofan earlier recumbent anticlinal structure, named theRiondel nappe.

At 220-kilometres (140 miles) in length, the character of the river changes along its journey to Lake Koocanusa and meets up with several tributaries of equal charm and worth. The River Sourced from the Petain Glacier next to Mt Joffre on the British Columbia - Alberta border, the waters of the Elk River are filtered and clarified as they flow through the Elk Lakes north of Elkford, BC, resulting in Photo credit: Mike McPhee Photo credit: Mike McPhee a crystal clear waterway perfect for Trout. • From the town of Sparwood down, the river gains momentum and girth. From Sparwood to “Gerrits”, the river is known for big greedy Cutthroat, long boulder sections, countless riffles and deep corner holes. N To Island Lake Lodge • From Gerrits to the hamlet of Hosmer is drift-boat heaven. Hosmer also as a boat launch – a good place to start or finish a day. Dogwood Park Boat Launch • Hosmer down to Fernie offers braided sections and some big logjams with magical views of the Lizard Range. Buckets and holes are ripe for the casting on this stretch.
