Beautiful scenery and wilderness at the Paint Pots in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia.
It is wise to carry Bear Spray with you as this is Grizzly Country and my daughter saw one just a few minutes along the trail.

Be sure to have your boots with you at the Paint Pots in Kootenay National Park as the trail can be quite muddy. Some boards help but there isn't enough to keep you dry.
