There are a few hidden gems in the interior of BC and you'll find them here in the Koots; Trail, Rossland, Montrose, Warfield, & Castlegar are just a few of those gems. Head over to Boundary Country to the communities of Grand Forks and Christina Lake.

The West Kootenay's are set in the South East interior, bordering the United States to the South. This region offers tree lined lakes, and an abundance of mountain views and all the little city features we love such as breweries, great restaurants, fitness centres, the best coffee shops & shopping! The West Kootenay's are a true oasis to call home.

The landscape here will offer you a stunning show around almost every corner. Prevailing climatic mountain ranges, condensed green forests, wildlife, and mighty rivers and lakes. The communities are welcoming with a vast population of people whom have travelled from all over the world to live in the inspiring region of the West Kootenays.

A quick 45 minute drive over the Strawberry pass from Rossland is Christina Lake, and it's a warm one! If you're looking to build or buy your dream home on water, this community is for you. Not too far from the lake is the humble town of Grand Forks. Located in the Monashee Mountains at the junction of the Kettle and Granby rivers. Grand Forks has mixed terrain as you'll find it's situated between the desert like Okanagan Valley and the interior rainforest of the West Kootenays.

TRAIL
