Touchstones Museum of Art and History Located in the heart of Nelson in the former post office and City Hall, Touchstones is a state-ofthe-art facility. Permanent exhibitions include First Nations, European exploration, mining, transportation, settlers and industry, and it celebrates the culture and history of Nelson and area. Visit the website www. touchstonesnelson.ca to see what is happening when you come to Nelson! Climb, Bike, Hike Kootenay kids are not born with an appreciation of their mountain landscape, it’s something that evolves. When children hear visitors talk at length about the scenery, they get impatient. What does scenery matter? But as they begin to explore beyond their back yards, their sense of being "of the mountains" ignites and expands. The craggy range across the lake or the valley ceases to be the wall on the other side of their world once they have climbed to the top of it and looked over the other side. Is rock climbing your thing? Enjoy a day ascending The Date, a very accessible multi-pitch climb within reach of Nelson. It is a great walk into the base of the route, and a fun and thoughtful climb from there. You’ll enjoy stunning views at the top – the rewards of this great adventure. Pick up a copy of The West Kootenay Rock Guide book at the at the Visitor Centre in the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce office at 91 Baker Street, for information on the more than 400 climbs in the Nelson area! Mountain biking is a journey to Nirvana for the avid biker or for anybody, really, who is reasonably fit and has the desire to get away from the pavement. Showcased in many mountain bike films, Nelson’s trails offer everything from gentle railway grades to steep, rooty technical tracks. For the hard core freeriders there is enough diversity to keep the adrenalin pumping. With the breathtaking backdrop of the Selkirk Mountains, Nelson’s rides take the West Coast style and crank it up a notch! There are many great tracks within a 15 minute drive and quite a number of trails that you can get to from Nelson on your own two wheels. Stop in at one of Nelson’s sport or bike shops for current information. Gerick’s on Baker Street specializes in making sure you get your biking fix while in and around Nelson. The knowledgeable staff can help you determine the best trails for your interest and ability. Some of the trails serve a double purpose, hiking and biking, so ask about the trail etiquette for these multi-purpose areas. The Nelson Mountain Bike Guide, now in its 3rd edition, includes vivid, virtual terrain views, almost 40 new rides and a total of 105 mapped and described trails. All proceeds from the sale of the guide go directly towards funding the trail building and ongoing maintenance. Hiking is another great way to spend some time. Nelson is central to many types of hikes for all abilities. Check the book stores for Where Locals Hike in the West Kootenay or, again, ask for trail info at the Info Centre or sports stores around town. Another great guide is The Kootenays (Backroad Mapbook, Number 4). It will get you just about anywhere you need to go. Pulpit Rock Trail: This is a favourite hike for the locals because it only takes a little more than an hour or two and the view of Nelson is unbelievable! The trail head is located across the bridge from Nelson on the North Shore. Just turn left at Johnstone Road and follow it to where the cars are parked on the side of the road. Crystal Caves Trail: Minutes from Nelson’s downtown, head towards the big orange bridge. Once on Nelson Avenue take a right on Elwyn Street. At the top you will come to a parking area on the right and you can see the old railroad bed which is the head of the trail. Family Hiking at Kokanee Creek Park: Just 18 minutes north of Nelson, eight hiking trails leave from the Info Centre in Kokanee Creek Provincial Park. The park trails wind from the sandy beach and delta and follow the slope upward to the base of the forested Slocan Range of the Selkirk Mountains. Kokanee Mt Zipline Kokanee Mountain Zipline promises you more than an extreme ride. You will get that, for sure. But what will stay with you long after you are unlatched from your harness is the exhilarating sensation of being liberated in three dimensional space, soaring high like a bird over valleys, and under the sun. Zipping through the canopy, in between the towering fir and larch and spruce. No photograph or video can do it justice. On the zipline you move though and over the environment. It’s free falling in control – and with total safety. The Kokanee Zipline is an experience the whole family can share.. at least all of those over 50 lbs! It is a 2–3 hour time commitment. Guides will lead you on a nature walk through the forest and introduce you to the inland rainforest ecosystem in between stages. Visit www.zipkokanee.com Kokanee Creek Park The adventure playground and wide sandy beach at this beautiful lakeside provincial park will keep the kids busy and active all day. There is a good boat launch, a group camp site, a viewing platform over a fish-bearing channel and great hiking trails that will keep the whole family active. The Kokanee Nature Centre is open daily from 9 am to 8:30 pm, June 30 to September 6. Children and adult naturalist, yoga and fitness programs are offered. Numerous publications about the park and its flora and fauna can be perused and purchased at the centre. For a schedule of the activities and programs,visit www.kokaneenaturecentre.org Can fish run? Yes! Late August is time to welcome back the bright red spawning kokanee salmon to Kokanee Creek. The Kokanee Creek Nature Centre hosts the annual Redfish Festival, August 25 from 11 am to 4:30 pm at Kokanee Creek Park to celebrate their return. Watch for the red fish icons on the telephone poles to know when they are 'running'. The kokanee are key to the survival of many species on Kootenay Lake. Birds, mammals, insects, even humans, all partake of the thousands of kokanee coming up the channel to spawn on the pebbly bottom of Kokanee Creek. For more information about the festival and all of the nature programming at the centre, visit https://kokaneenaturecentre.org/ BC Canada www.gokootenays.com #gokootenays - share the adventure! 2019 Summer/Fall GO & DO 41 nelson
