British Columbia's Rockies, which are situated on the eastern side of the province, serve as a recreational getaway for both locals and international tourists.

SIZZLIN' SUMMER FUN
During summer, BC's Rockies are a magnificent sight to see. A great way to experience the region's alpine beauty is with a hike or a horseback ride, ranging from hour-long excursions to full-day adventures. Those with a passion for fishing can try their luck at Cartwright Lake for the ultimate catch of the day. Golf lovers will enjoy well-manicured golf courses such as Greywolf Golf Course in Panorama and the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort's Riverside Golf Course. Adventurous souls can try white water rafting, wind surfing, water skiing and kayaking on the region's deep blue lakes and rivers or increase adrenaline levels on land with rock climbing near Revelstoke. However, if relaxation is the goal then Windermere Lake serves as a perfect stop. The lake features sandy beaches and refreshingly cool waters for swimming.
WINTER WONDERLAND EXPLORATIONS
As glistening snow covers the mountainous landscape of BC's Rockies, thousands of winter sport enthusiasts from near and far pack their gear and relocate to the area for the season. Snowboarders and skiers of all levels can practice on a multitude of ski hills such as Fernie Alpine Resort and the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden. Visitors in search of ski terrain away from the crowds can try heli-skiing packages. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing tours near communities like Radium Hot Springs and Invermere-Windermere showcase the region's natural beauty. Other fun ways to explore the snowy countryside include snowmobile and dog sled tours.
ALL-SEASON ENTERTAINMENT
Although many of the attractions in BC's Rockies are seasonal, there are several year-round activities for locals and travellers. The hot mineral pools at Radium Hot Springs and Fairmont Hot Springs provide a soothing environment in both winter and summer. Radium Hot Springs is situated at the bottom of the towering rock cliffs of Sinclair Canyon and Fairmont Hot Springs overlooks the snow-capped peaks of the Stanford Range. Various indoor pools are also located throughout BC's Rockies in hotels and community facilities like the Fernie Aquatic Centre, which features a six-lane swimming pool, a hot tub and a water slide. However, if the preferred way to unwind is over a cool drink then head to the Fernie Brewing Company for a brewery tour and beer samples.
