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.
Hiking In Kootenay National Park (Hikers’ Favorite Trails)
The hiking trails in Kootenay National Park are full of elevation gains and losses. Also, today, the national park has more than 70hiking trails at easy, moderate, and difficult levels.

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
Return Distance: 9 Kms

Further, during this trek, you will see trilobite fossils (now extinct and one of the earliest marine arthropods), and the view of the Kicking Horse River from the trail is amazing.
Stanley Glacier
Difficulty: Moderate
Return Distance: 10 km
Elevation Gain: 385 m

Here Are Three Best Places You Can Immerse Yourself In Ancient Culture:
There happen to be a handful of locations that are perfect for immersing oneself in ancient culture, and we are going to take you through a couple of our favorites in this article.
Let’s dive right into it.
1. Egypt Is As Ancient As it Gets
A 10-day trip to Egypt offers travelers an unparalleled journey into the heart of ancient history and culture. When experiencing the remnants of bygone eras, there is no better destination than this timeless land.

Another destination that is ideal for experiencing ancient culture is Mexico, specifically the ancient Mayan civilization. The Mayan civilization is one of the most fascinating and mysterious ancient cultures in the world.
Visitors to Mexico can explore the ruins of ancient Mayan cities, such as Chichen Itza and Tikal, and gain an understanding of the architecture, astronomy, and religious practices of this advanced civilization. Additionally, you can also explore the Mayan culture by visiting the many cenotes or sinkholes, which the Mayans believed to be sacred places.
Mexico is an underrated gem when it comes to ancient culture, and you will be able to scratch your itch for ancient civilizations ten times over if you decide to give it a visit.
To sum up, immersing yourself in the ancient culture of a destination can be a truly enriching experience. Whether you are exploring the ruins of Egypt, Mexico, or China, you will gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of these ancient civilizations and come away with a greater appreciation for the world around us.
So, consider visiting one of these locations on your next holiday and try to fully immerse yourself in ancient culture for a truly memorable vacation. Have fun!
