No, it’s not the battle of the Starks, Lannisters, and other houses of Westeros. In Canada lies Kootenay National Park, the actual land of ice and fire. The glacier-made canyons and valleys sing the song of the ice, while the hot springs and grasslands keep the “fire” element alive here.
Also, the national park is a hub of ancient fossils, encouraging walks through the fossil trails. Moreover, you can take a scenic drive through the park, rich in Indigenous culture, history, architecture, and cultural landscape.
So, do you want a virtual tour of this Canadian national park? THIS is where your journey begins!
THESE Are The Things You Will Do At Kootenay National Park
With no cell service available in Kootenay National Park, you can get lost in the wilderness and explore the most fascinating landscape. However, being respectful to the wildlife is a must for this national park. This August, I came across disturbing news while doing my research on Kootenay National Park.
I have been in touch with a local from Radium Hot Springs for quite some time now. He told me that a grizzly bear coming out of Kootenay National Park was almost struck by an SUV on 19th August 2024.
This incident occurred on a busy highway in southeastern British Columbia, and fortunately, the Kia Sportage SUV made its way to the other side safely. Further, it was a lesson on why following the safety guidelines is crucial while driving in and around the Kootenay National Park.
On the major routes of Kootenay National Park, you will have to maintain a maximum speed of 56 mph. However, on the minor routes, the highest driving speed limit will be 37 mph.
Also, around one month before the incident, on 24th July 2024, there was a minor fire in the Sinclair Canyon slopes (near Radium Hot Springs) of the national park. It was called the Berland Ridge wildfire. This fire was under control thanks to a helicopter bucketing water on it.
However, outside the park’s southern boundary, there was a blazing fire that was brought under control after pain-stricken efforts.
So, these incidents show how mindful and cautious you need to be while taking part in the following activities.

The hikers’ words about the trails in this national park are quite encouraging. Let’s find out what they are saying about the mesmerizing hiking trails.
“This is a beautiful, deep canyon hike. The trail crosses the canyon multiple times to view the ferocious Kootenay river below. Hiking boots aren’t necessary since it is a well-traveled trail.” – Deborah Turcotte on the Marble Canyon Trail
“The trail was mostly dry and in very good condition. No snow on the trail, just a few short wet spots. Trek up is mostly sheltered but a bit chilly and windy in the bowl so bring layers as the temp changes quickly when the sun is behind clouds. Still lots of snow in the bowl. Found one rock with fossils. There are a few small waterfalls on Stanley Peak. Lots of boulders at the base of the bowl to sit and enjoy a lunch and 360 views. An easy to moderate 3-4 hour hike with nice views of Stanley Peak, Storm Mtn, and the Kootenay Valley.” – Sue W on the Stanley Glacier Trail
Kootenay National Park Camping
Kootenay National Park is a wonderful place for frontcountry and backcountry camping. You can even live in oTENTiks and spend some unforgettable days in the park under the sky.
Frontcountry Camping
You can camp near theVermillion, Kootenay, and Simpson rivers. Also, you can find some quiet spots near Radium Hot Springs village.
Summer is the best season for front-country camping in the national park. However, the sites remain crowded. So, you must go for a prior booking.
Further, the daytime temperature in the national park remains between 16-23 degrees centigrade. Still, the temperature at night can drop below 0 degrees centigrade. So, abiding by the camping rules is crucial, and especially, be particular about the things you will have to carry.
Moreover, like camping in any national park, here also you have to ensure that you don’t leave any trace behind as you leave the site.
Backcountry Camping
Backcountry camping and backpacking are the best ways to explore the wilderness of this Canadian national park. However, you must make a prior booking and carry a backcountry permit if you want to spend some days and nights amidst grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, elks, and cougars.
Further, there are six backcountry camping grounds in the park, five of which are located along the Rockwall Trail. The Verdant Creek Trail has the sixth camping ground.
Random camping is not allowed during summer, as protecting the landscape and vegetation is crucial. This restriction applies from May to October.
However, in the winter months, you can do random camping in the designated areas. You will still need a permit for this. As I have mentioned, the Rockwall trail is the most prominent place for backcountry camping in the park. This site is also popular for the presence of various multi-day hiking trails. These trails are:
Honeymoon Pass and Verdant Creek
Tumbling – Floe
The Rockwall
Tumbling – Helmet – Ochre Loop
Numa Creek
Helmet Creek and Falls
Tumbling Creek
Helmet – Ochre Junction
In the popular backcountry camping areas, the trails are maintained quite well. Further, there will be amenities like food storage cables, food lockers, picnic tables, and tent pads.
Living in oTENTik
An oTENTik is a modern fusion of a cabin and a tent. In the park, you will find the oTENTik site on the Redstreak campground’s A loop.
If you stay in an oTENTik, you will wake up amidst nature, and taking a bath at the hot springs will be the most rejuvenating experience. Then, you can explore the nearby hiking trails and gorge on traditional meals cooked in the campfire.
Relaxing At Radium Hot Springs
Beneath the colorful Sinclair Canyon mountains lie the most refreshing hot springs. Further, the mineral-rich water of the hot springsdoes not have any odor, and you can take a bath with your entire family.
To reach the Radium Hot Springs, you must drive from Banff and Lake Louise for around 1.5 hours. Further, the journey is as interesting as the destination, as you will get to small turquoise lakes, falls, canyons, and bridges over rivers as you drive through the Kootenay National Park. Also, don’t forget to stop at the following locations to make the most of your journey.
Continental Divide (The line diving the Pacific and Atlantic watersheds)
Marble Canyon Hike
Paint Pots Trail
Numa Falls
Kootenay Valley Viewpoint (It is the place to get the most beautiful view of Vermilion and Mitchell Ranges.)
Olive Lake Trail and Day-Use Area
However, the highlight of the journey, of course, is the Sinclair Canyon, where you will also find big horn sheep roaming. As you hike through the Juniper / Sinclair trail, you will get a “bird’s eye view” of Sinclair Canyon.
Further, as you enter the Radium Hot Springs village, you will see an iconic steel horn sculpture. The “Bighorns Public Art Sculpture” was officially unveiled on 7th April 2021. Moreover, Clara Reinhardt, the mayor of Radium in 2021, said,
“We chose something that implies a sense of arrival to Radium, the Columbia Valley, and beyond. We captured the undeniable natural beauty of the curved horns through a Fibonacci spiral—the golden ratio in nature and art.”
“We wanted to create a piece of art that speaks to both the history and the future of bighorn sheep in Radium. We captured the undeniable natural beauty of the curved horns through a Fibonacci spiral—the golden ratio in nature and art.” – Adam Meikle (Artist of the Bighorns Public Art Sculpture)
Burgess Shale Fossil Hike
The Burgess Shale Fossil Hike in the national park will give you access to Mount Stephen and Walcott Quarry. These are UNESCO Restricted Sites. Further, you will get to see some of the oldest fossils in the world here.
However, in total, you have three routes to explore in the Burgess Shale Fossil Hike. Let’s discuss them in detail.
Walcott Quarry
Starting Point: Takakkaw Falls
Difficulty Level: Difficult
Elevation Gain: 825 Meters
Duration: 11 Hours
Return Distance: 22 Kms
Walcott Quarry is a classic example of a fossil hike. Also, the top view of the Emerald Lake from here is amazing. Further, you will find Burgess Shale creatures here, which were found in fossilized conditions at the mountaintop in the Yoho National Park.
“The Burgess Shale organisms lived 508 million years ago in a time period that Geologists call the Cambrian, which began at 541 Ma (million years ago) and ended by 485.4 Ma. The first fossil occurence of most animal lineages (at the phylum and class levels) occur in the Cambrian. As a result of this fact, and because the fossils are well preserved, Paleontologists studying the Burgess Shale fossils can deduce a great deal about the ancestory of animal lineages.”
The Burgess Shale fossils were discovered at the Walcott Quarry site in 1909 by Charles Doolittle Walcott. 1
Mount Stephen
Difficulty Level: Difficult
Elevation Gain: 795 Meters
Duration: 7.5 Hours

Meet Sibashree Bhattacharya, a travel enthusiast who has a decade-long experience in transcending virtual barriers with her words! Her deep love for travel is apparent from her travel escapades to the mountain, often taking her readers on a journey, her words acting as Portkey! Fun fact: Sibashree loves to dive deep into the history of the places she is about to visit, making her travels even more wholesome. If you were wondering how her articles are not short of time travel, this answers it!
The appeal of life on the open road has captured people's imaginations for generations.
While the classic road trip experience usually involves traveling by car, an increasing number of adventurous souls are answering the call of wanderlust by living full-time in RVs.
Recreational vehicles offer nomadic travelers a unique way to experience new places while enjoying all the comforts of home on wheels.
Here Are Seven Prime Reasons For Living In An RV
Here are a few reasons more adventurers are picking up stakes to explore the countryside and beyond from the driver's seat of an RV.
1. Unconstrained Exploration
An RV removes the barriers that often limit vacation travel by time or budget. Living on the road full-time lets you follow your curiosity wherever it may lead without the constraints of return flights, hotel reservations, or tightly scheduled itineraries.
An RV provides the freedom to meander as inspiration strikes, soaking in hidden gems off the beaten path. Why visit just the highlights when you can immerse yourself in the character of entire regions? The mobility of an RV empowers explorers to fully embrace the serendipity of the open road.
2. Low Cost of Living
While purchasing an RV itself is an investment, the overall cost of living in an RV on a day-to-day basis is significantly lower than maintaining a traditional house. There is no mortgage, property taxes, or costly home repairs and renovations to worry about. Utility bills like water, electricity, heating, and WiFi tend to be lower given the smaller space of an RV.
Some RVs even have solar panels or generators to reduce reliance on utilities. Having no yard to maintain and fewer belongings also means less spending on home and garden supplies. Generally, the overall monthly costs of living in an RV are a small fraction compared to being tied down to a house, condo, or apartment, allowing you to live very affordably while pursuing your passion for travel.
3. Downsizing And Minimalism
Living in an RV encourages and enables a downsized, minimalist lifestyle. With limited storage space, RV dwellers must prioritize only keeping their most essential belongings. This can have therapeutic benefits like reduced clutter and stress. It also forces you to re-evaluate material possessions and spend less time and money acquiring unnecessary "stuff". With less to maintain both physically and financially, residents can focus more on relationships, experiences, and personal growth versus possessions.
Many embrace RV living partially for the minimalist simplicity it brings, freeing up more time and money for what matters in life rather than things. While surely not for everyone, weighing these advantages makes a persuasive case that RVs could function as effective modern Land Ark providing comfortable roaming residences for their residents.
4. Connection To Nature
Living in an RV allows for regular immersion and connection to nature. Whether boondocking in national forests, hiking straight from the campsite, or enjoying scenic ocean or mountain vistas daily, the outdoor-centric lifestyle of an RV provides a natural way to appreciate and experience nature. Residents are essentially traveling through various natural environments rather than being isolated in houses separated from the natural world.
This can have psychological benefits from reducing stress and anxiety. It also fosters environmental appreciation and stewardship, with RV enthusiasts serving as frequent visitors, volunteers, and financial supporters of public lands. Regular exposure to nature's restorative powers is a compelling perk for many who choose the RV lifestyle.
5. Flexibility For Remote Work
With the rise of remote and location-independent work, living in an RV has become a practical option for many digital nomads and remote professionals. Working from an RV allows you to easily shift locations as your job, projects or heart may take you. From coworking spaces to scenic outdoor spots with strong WiFi connections, digital work is now fully compatible with life on the road.
The flexibility to pick up and work from new destinations using an RV office is a huge advantage. No longer being tied to one geographic area expands career possibilities for remote professionals seeking a flexible lifestyle. When combined with a distributed or remote team, living and working from an RV becomes an attainable dream for many.
6. Community And Sense Of Belonging
Despite the freedom of being untethered, living in an RV does not have to mean isolation. RV communities provide welcoming atmospheres for residents of all ages and backgrounds. Whether staying in organized campgrounds or communities centered around hobbies and interests, RV dwellers regularly interact and form bonds over shared recreational passions and travel adventures.
Places like state and national parks become regular "home bases" full of familiar friendly faces. RV rallies and events foster a deep sense of camaraderie among residents of the road. Online RV forums and groups also help combat potential loneliness through digital companionship. While independence is part of the appeal, community remains an important factor for the mental and social well-being of many full-time RV dwellers.
7. Repurposing And Upcycling
For some, living in an RV is partially motivated by sustainable ideals around reusing existing vehicles and materials. Upcycling pre-owned RVs keeps them on the road longer versus ending up in landfills. Older RVs can also come at much lower costs than new models. Modern amenities can still be incorporated through solar panels, portable power stations, and WiFi equipment. Interior upgrades allow RVs of any age to be repurposed for comfortable full-time use.
Creative refits help extend the functional lifespan of RVs in an environmentally-minded way. The embrace of more sustainable, eco-friendly features provides RV living with an appealing ethical dimension as well. Many dwellers find fulfillment in repurposing vehicles and gear to simplify techniques while living lightly on the land.
