Valhalla Provincial Park
Valhalla Provincial Park is a dramatically diverse area encompassing 30 kilometres along the west shore of Slocan Lake and most of the Valhalla range of the Selkirk mountains. The peaks are truly magnificent in the northwest; New Denver Glacier (2,758 metres) dominates the landscape while the block-shaped Devil’s Couch (2,667 metres) and Hela Peak (2,717 metres) define the central area. Along the southwestern boundary is an outstanding group of spires including Mount Dag, the Wolf’s Ears, Gimli, Asgard and Gladshiem (all over 2,660 metres).
Tip: Hike to Gwillim lakes.

Halfway River Hot Springs
Natural thermal pool on the side of a river.
This springs is located 11 km up a Forest Service Road about 20 minutes north (25.6 km) of Nakusp, BC. Many years ago the site was a free-for-all until partying and abuse luckily saw the province intervene. It is now an official BC Recreation Site and has seen a number of improvements like campsite pads, regularly maintained outhouses, a custom-built change room as well as enhanced soaking pools.
