So many Kootneys headlines are “Family killed by [avalanche/bears/cult/dam/militia]”

The best thing about berry picking is berry eating!
Last summer I was lucky enough to sit and feast on huckleberries in the East Kootneys.

Have a blast!

“Splendor sine occasu”

(BCs motto? Means “splendor without dininshment”)

As seen on the Needles cable ferry on #ArrowLake in the #Kootneys

The Liberal party REALLY needs to dig deep in rural communities. Rural Alberta,in the East Kootneys BC, & Saskatchewan.
These are where small but deep & many pockets of right wing rhetoric have a strong hold on individuals.(I have no experience in SK,but I have witnessed it in BC & AB) #LiberalParty

Reading your profile, we head to kootneys - calgary & then Iceland for 2 weeks late Aug. Then drive van from calgary to Terrace BC to do some Steelhead fishing

After Safari last April, I upgraded to a Z8 & 14-600 covered via 4 Z lenses

Retired, no kids, and between BC and travel, wtf

But that depends on where you live in Canada. Truth is you can't get access to quality healthcare in most of Canada. Montreal is not a good place to get sick right now. Neither are the Kootneys or any rural community in the country. Don't spread misinformation.

Its a temperate rainforest for a lot of the coast.
The interior of BC is dryer,the Kootneys is a stunning area. The Okanagan valley is incredible.
Northern BC gets a lot of rain and the trees are big enogh to drive a car through too. I could go on!!

Hard to argue with having grown up in BC and having lived in Victoria, Vancouver, the Okanagan and the Kootneys.

And then having lived all over Canada to compare.

It was once a great place to live. No longer. It’s expensive and arrogant as a Province (with nothing really to support that).

@rathyma.bsky.social Sorry for the intrusion but I read your bio and HAD to follow. "Welsh" intrigued me but you had me at "Kootneys". Mea culpa.

There's a non-0 chance I maybe saw a moose in the kootneys while visiting my grandma when I was really young but I have no memory of it. I should really finally do that road trip through the rockies...

I spent the weekend in The Kootneys, driving to and from and through the most beautiful country imaginable. I need a passenger for the next trip so that pictures can be taken.

The picture in this post was taken last year on a stop along The Crowsnest.

We’re not voting for trump - different country.
Lived in Alberta for 28 years. They’ve always voted against their own best interests.
BC, so not CONS. Maybe the Kootneys, where all the retired Albertans who said they never move to BC, actually moved to.

Lots of switcbacks & curves on the crowsnest. You can not go wrong anywhere in the Kootneys. It's is beautiful everywhere. Kaslo is another little town you pass through. You can swim in Kootney Lake.
Don't forget Radium hot springs.
It won't be cheap. However,it will be the best road trip ever.
