Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park

Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, established in 1922 in British Columbia’s East Kootenay region, protects a remote high-alpine landscape of peaks, lakes, glaciers, waterfalls, and valleys in the Canadian Rockies. With no road access, it has long been defined by backcountry travel and early recreation facilities such as Wheeler's Wonder Lodge, Assiniboine Lodge, and Sunburst. In 1990 it became part of the UNESCO Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site for its scenic, geological, and ecological importance. The park also supports diverse wildlife, from numerous bird species to bears, wolves, lynx, elk, moose, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep, while recreation remains centered on low-impact camping and trail use.
