Nature
Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park, in British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains, is one of the province’s oldest provincial parks, established in 1922. This protected alpine landscape covers 320.35 square kilometres and is defined by three glaciers, more than 30 alpine lakes, rugged peaks, and glacier-fed headwaters that give it both scenic and ecological importance. Access follows roads first developed for mining and forestry, with Nelson and Kaslo serving as main gateways. A notable summit, Grays Peak, honors Robert Hampton Gray and John Balfour Gray. The park is also remembered as the site where Michel Trudeau died in an avalanche while skiing in 1998.
