Nelson and the Kokanee area

Nelson is a beautiful city located in the Selkirk Mountains on the extreme West Arm of Kootenay Lake. It is known as 'The Queen City' and acknowledged for its impressive collection of restored heritage buildings from its glory days in a regional silver rush. The day before we strolled through historic Baker Street and had dinner at the Hume Hotel. After nice conversations at breakfast we tried to enter to Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. Nevertheless half the way an avalanche buried the access road. What a pity! But we saw our first bear on the road – a black one.
