Daily Guided Activities – Summer
Nipika is set amid the Cross River Canyon Recreation Site, along the Kootenay and Cross River Valleys with scenic vistas, waterfalls, and beautiful forest. If you’re newer to hiking, want a gentler hike than the alpine offers, or simply want to explore the area around Nipika, this is the option for you!
Guided hikes are now available for booking this season!

Canoe the Kootenay River
Paddle trips are currently not running to prevent the spread of whirling disease. We will hopefully run our trips again next year! (More information can be found on the Parks Canada website.)
