Kootenay National Park, British Columbia
The park takes its name from the Kootenay River, one of the two major rivers which flow through the park, the other being the Vermillion River. While the Vermillion River is completely contained within the park, the Kootenay River has its headwaters just outside the park boundary, flowing through the park into the Rocky Mountain Trench, eventually joining the Columbia River.

Mountain sheep are not uncommon in Kootenay National Park.
The road leading into Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia from Kootenay National Park is cut through a tight gorge.
