The Kootenays are a region in southern British Columbia, Canada, sharing a border with Washington State and Idaho. If you love mountains, lakes, and rivers, this is the land for you. The views are breathtaking, the people are friendly, and even the winters are manageable!
Here’s what I mean:
Bed and Breakfast on Kootenay Lake
And the vegetation! Here are some photos from the summer:
Huge dandelion puff.
Oregon Grape.
I have no idea what this plant is!
I hope I wet your appetite for more. When I was a college student I worked as a travel counselor in the region. I still can’t stop bragging about the area. Isn’t this beautiful country?
You are right – this looks like a beautiful place!

Those are some beautiful pictures! Some awesome scenery. I had never heard of the place until now. I’d imagine if I can handle Minnesota Winters, then there should be a piece of cake! I don’t believe I’ve ever tried an Oregon grape either…
