Marble Canyon in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia, is a stunning natural formation where Tokumm Creek has carved a narrow, deep gorge into the limestone rock. Located just off Highway 93, the canyon features a short and easy 1.4 km round-trip trail that crosses several footbridges, offering dramatic views of the turquoise creek far below. The trail is family-friendly and includes interpretive signs that highlight the area’s geology, history, and recovery from a major forest fire in 2003. At the trail’s end, a striking waterfall disappears into a hidden hole in the canyon floor. Open year-round, Marble Canyon is equally beautiful in summer’s vibrant greens and winter’s icy stillness, making it a perfect stop for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers alike.
The Paint Pots are an easy, colorful stopping point in Kootenay National Park—where geology, ecology, and Indigenous heritage converge. A short stroll leads through forest, across creek crossings, past vibrant ochre mudbeds, and to mineral‑rich pools that spark both curiosity and a sense of wonder. It’s well worth visiting as part of a loop with Marble Canyon.
Radium Hot Springs offers two contrasting yet complementary pool experiences—the warm, mineral-rich hot soak and the cool recreational swimming pool—set within a dramatic canyon landscape. With modern amenities, universal accessibility, and year-round operation, it’s ideal for families, relaxation seekers, or as a rejuvenating stop during a drive through the picturesque Kootenay Rockies.
Single-entry passes start at approximately $17.50 for adults, with discounts for seniors, youth, and families; day passes and annual passes are also available (Entry fee not Included)
We will stop for Lunch in town, an optional stop
Olive Lake is a quick, peaceful, and accessible natural stop along the Kootenay corridor—offering emerald waters, gentle trails, and picnic-ready scenery. It’s ideal if you’re looking to stretch your legs, enjoy a snack, or simply take in the alpine forest and trout-filled lake. Let me know if you'd like help adding it to a full day of activities around Radium or beyond.
The Kootenay Valley Viewpoint is a must-visit scenic stop on the Banff–Windermere Highway, offering effortless access to stunning mountain and river views. It’s an ideal photo stop, picnic vantage, or short pause for wildlife spotting.
Mount Norquay Lookout delivers effortless, high-altitude rewards—with sweeping views over Banff town and the surrounding Bow Valley, accessible by car or summer chairlift. At the summit, the Cliffhouse Bistro invites you to relax with refreshments amid scenic grandeur. The area is a quieter alternative to busier viewpoints, and wildlife encounters, particularly with bighorn sheep, are common along the alpine drive.
