BC Adventure – Kootenay Multi-Sport Tour
Overview
In one incredible week, we’ll touch on as many adventure disciplines as humanly possible. Paddle the northern end of Kootenay Lake beneath the impressive peaks of the Selkirk and Purcell Mountains. Raft the exciting Salmo River as it blasts through canyons en route to the 49th parallel, hike in glacial terrain, mountain bike on undulating single track that winds through endless wilderness or take an afternoon to regroup on the patio deck of your quaint lakeside lodge as we soak up vistas of the Purcell and Selkirk mountain ranges. Guests are pampered in beautiful heritage homes and country inns as we serve up delicious meals and endless gourmet treats.
