A
very special area, the Kootenay Plains have been designated
an Ecological Reserve even though hunting continues unabated
in the area around it… This arid grassland was known
to and used by various native tribes for travel, hunting
/ gathering, spiritual ceremonies and more – it is
actually named after the Kootenay Indians who used to live
here before they were driven out by the Peigan 200 years
ago.
With its own microclimate which extends all the way to Aurum
Lodge, the semi-arid plains rich in flora and fauna are
ideal for winter hiking. |
