Douce P.Zizka Connect With Nature P. Zizka P. OUR STORY Indigenous peoples were the fi rst to discover naturally forming ochre in small streams fl owing through the Vermilion Plain. Mixing the red clay with fi sh oil or animal grease, they painted their bodies, clothes and tipis, and drew pictures on the rocks. Nineteenth century prospectors soon followed, mining the ochre by hand to create pigment for paint. The Paint Pots lie near the north end of the Banff-Windermere Highway, the road that runs through Kootenay National Park. The highway, completed in 1923, was conceived to draw tourists to the picturesque scenes on either side of the road, while opening commercial links east of the Rockies. Kootenay is the only national park to feature both glacier-clad peaks along the Continental Divide and semi-arid grasslands in the Columbia Valley. Apart from ochre deposits, Kootenay boasts a geological heritage to inspire any artist—from Burgess Shale fossils to the dolomite walls of Marble Canyon and the rust covered cliffs above Radium Hot Springs. In 2003, dramatic wildfi res in the Vermilion Valley revealed glaciers hanging above the fl ame-scorched forest, further enhancing the park’s natural legacy. A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE Four of the mountain national parks—Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay—are recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientifi c and Cultural Organization as part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, for the benefi t and enjoyment of all nations. Among the attributes that warranted this designation were vast wilderness, diversity of fl ora and fauna, outstanding natural beauty and features such as Lake Louise, Maligne Lake, the Columbia Icefi eld and the Burgess Shale. 2 Top 10 Things to Do STANLEY GLACIER BURGESS SHALE GUIDED HIKES Meet your ancient ancestors and hold a piece of earth’s history on a guided hike to the Stanley Glacier fossil site.
