Canada Simpson River Trailhead
The parking area and bridge offer great views of the Kootenay River and valley for those just looking for a quick, scenic stop. The trail initially heads south along the Kootenay River before turning east to follow the Simpson River. At this point, a tiny bluff offers great views to the south over Simpson River.
