Valhalla Provincial Park

Valhalla Provincial Park is a major protected mountain landscape in British Columbia’s west Kootenays, established on March 3, 1983. Covering 49,893 hectares in the mountains above Slocan Lake’s western shore, it includes most of the rugged Valhalla Ranges in the Selkirk Mountains and extends along about 30 kilometres of shoreline. Its steep terrain and limited access have helped preserve its wild character while also attracting climbers to its alpine landscapes. The park’s creation was strongly championed by Colleen McCrory and the Valhalla Society, and it remains important for both its scenery and its conservation role.
