Short, very easy walk with a beautiful lake to look at. The color of the lake is absolutely stunning. Won't take more than 10 minutes to walk the whole thing.

Kootenay Valley Viewpoint

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada

This is the best viewpoint in Kootenay National Park for getting a wide view of the gorgeous mountains. You do hardly see the river, but there's still lots to entertain the eye. Coming from Banff, it's the last place to stop for a view, as in Sinclair Canyon, the only parking areas are for trailhead use - the road is much too narrow to stop if you see a bear or something. There's separate parking for east and westbound traffic. This highway can be very, very busy, with lots of lead-foots from Alberta dashing to their condos in the Columbia Valley, so be very cautious crossing if you've parked on the westbound side.
