We live 8 KM from the USA border ....the road you take from the border up to Kootenay Bay has over 270 curves in it! It is a very scenic fun drive that we enjoy. Along the road there are tourist attractions, coves to hike and explore, Artisan shops, restaurants.....this trip we explored a beach area on Kootenay Lake.
At the end of that road is a Ferry that takes you across Kootenay Lake. A shore drive from the ferry is Pilot Bay Pennisula...a short hike takes you to the Pilot Bay Lighthouse. It was a working lighthouse
The lighthouse is open and you can climb right to the top!
The view is spectacular!
for many years.
