Hamber Park
Hamber Park is a vast remote wilderness in BC's Kootenay region, forming part of one of the world's largest contiguous protected area blocks and designated a UNESCO Canadian Rocky Mountains World Heritage Site. Access to the interior requires a 22 km journey from the Sunwapta Falls trailhead in Jasper National Park, with the primary destination being Fortress Lake and its surrounding alpine terrain. Facilities are minimal by design: a rustic campground with a toilet exists at the east end of the lake, while the rest of the park is undeveloped backcountry.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, Michif Piyii (Métis), Mountain Métis, Secwepemcúl’ecw (Secwépemc), and Tsuut’ina.
