From alpine peaks and forested valleys to rivers, lakes, and hot springs, the region is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts year-round.
Spring in the West Kootenays brings a vibrant renewal, with melting snow giving way to lush trails and rushing rivers. Hikers and mountain bikers return to the scenic networks around Salmo Ski Hill, and local forest service roads open up for early-season exploration. Just south of Salmo near the US border, Nelway offers easy access to lesser-traveled backcountry routes and quiet fishing lakes tucked into the Selkirk Mountains.

Autumn is a time of rich colours and crisp air, ideal for hiking through the region’s expansive trail systems. The Salmo-Creston Pass, known for its dramatic elevation and views, is a popular fall drive, often combined with hikes in surrounding alpine terrain.

Kokanee Glacier Park is a popular spot for ski tourers, while local hot springs, such as Ainsworth to the north, offer the perfect winter soak.
Nelway sits right on the Canada–US Border south of Salmo, and its history is closely tied to transportation and trade. Long before European settlement, the region was part of the traditional travel and trade routes of the Sinixt and Ktunaxa peoples, who moved through the valleys and waterways for seasonal hunting, fishing, and commerce.
The modern history of Nelway took shape in the early 20th century when it became a key crossing point along the Nelson–Waneta Highway (hence the name “Nelway,” derived from Nelson and Way). The construction of the highway and border facilities established it as an important commercial and travel link between British Columbia and Washington State. For decades, logging trucks, freight haulers, and travelers used the crossing heavily, and while traffic slowed in later years with the rise of larger ports of entry, Nelway remains a recognized border station and a reminder of the region’s role in cross-border trade and rural connectivity.
