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!
