Marble canyon kootenay hike.

Make a visit here in august when the the fireweed is at its prime lining the forest floors with a beautiful pink and purple. It is an unique and popular year round attraction at the confluence of tokumm creek with the vermilion river. There is time following the castle mountain fire lookout hike to drive south on highway 93 into kootenay national park located in british columbia canada. This is a really beautiful area and a nice easy walk for the family with some beautiful scenery to go along with it.

A high altitude campground located in a predominately sub alpine spruce forest. We visited in april and there was snow on the ground but the water was a flowing and a beautiful turquoise color.
