Cranbrook Community Forest

They call themselves the "Hidden Gem of the Kootenays". Good golf at a good price.

From internationally renowned performers to community productions, this is the heart of the Kootenay's performing arts scene. A 600-seat centre for performing arts, conferences & cultural events, with an on-site gallery.

Museum dedicated to the history of Cranbrook and the surrounding area. Includes a fossil exhibit, train car collection and model railway. No train buff's trip to Cranbrook would be complete without a trip here. Static exhibits of passenger rail cars built in the 1920s for the CPR and in the 1900s for the Spokane International Railway. The gift shop features products made by local artisans. Cranbrook historic walking tours offered in the summer.

Hike to the top of this mountain, which is tallest peak in the Kootenay Range at 2,846 m (9,336 ft). The top part is bit of a scramble: it's recommended only for experienced hikers only. To reach the trailhead, it involves travel along a rough 10 km road requiring a four wheel drive vehicle.
