Kootenay National Park is a national park of Canada in southeastern British Columbia, encompassing varied mountain and valley landscapes shaped by geological processes. Visitors can follow trails, explore points of interest, stay at organised campgrounds, join interpretive programmes, view ancient Burgess Shale fossils, and take guided walks, while also enjoying scenic drives through contrasting valleys, glacier carved canyons, fire shaped grasslands, and relaxing in natural hot springs. It forms part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site and includes Radium Hot Springs, Marble Canyon, and the Paint Pots, reflecting ecological variety and long natural history today.
