Tracey that sounds great! How days in each spot? Anything/activity place you absolutely loved? Would avoid? Thx in advance

Brooke We did one night in Revelstoke, two in Invermere and Two in Nelson and then three in Oliver. We loved all spots but Nelson was really nice and I’d return in a heartbeat. We had a lakeview Room at the Prestige Hotel Resort. Definitely want to spend more time in the area. Marzano. Was fabulous for dinner if you like Italian. 3 craft breweries, lots of cool little shops.

West and East Kootenay. Go to Nelson, enjoy Oso Negro Coffee, then onto Kaslo, next Ferry over Kootenay Lake, stop in fruit stands in Creston, then stop in Kimberley for hikes, biking or shopping. Make sure to eat at Pedal and Tap, and or breakfast at Our Place Cafe. From there go to Fernie, more alpine goodness there, so many good restaurants. Or turn north at Kimberley and enjoy Invermere, Radium and Kootenay National Park. You'll likely be looking at Real Estate by the end of your trip
. Enjoy!
