Kootenay National Park
by Bob Hahn
A World Heritage Site, Kootenay National Park extends from the glacier-clad peaks of the Continental Divide along the Vermilion and Kootenay rivers to the grassy slopes of the Columbia River valley. This colourful pictorial guide was written in collaboration with The Friends of Kootenay Park to provide tourists with information about the park's history, flora and fauna. Kootenay National Park includes a drive along Highway 93 from Radium Hot Springs to Vermilion Pass. Hahn draws your attention to points of interest such as the ochre beds, and suggests walks you might take to waterfalls and lakes in the backcountry.
Nature writer and photographer Bob Hahn has worked as a park interpreter in Kootenay National Park since 1988. A fanatic fly fisherman with a master's in zoology, he managed a fishing lodge in Saskatchewan and worked as a big game outfitter in B.C. and the Yukon. He has written for magazines such as Northwest Travel, Explore and Beautiful British Columbia.
