Slocan Valley
“…remains one of the more deeply buried
jewels in the undiscovered
treasure chest of the Kootenays. Clinging to the course
of the
enchanting Slocan River/Lake, sandwiched between Valhalla
Provincial
Park to the west and Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park
to the east, this
winding road weaves between undulating green hills,
rugged bluffs and
fast-flowing icy creeks. The scenery has a pristine
quality, even by
local standards.”
Little Slocan Lodge
“Occupying 100 beautiful ha (hectares) on the
very edge of Valhalla
Provincial Park, this brand new hostel…incorporating
strawbale and
timber-frame elements…is just what the valley
needed.”
excerpts from:
Footprint Western Canada Handbook
by Matthew Gardner & Alison Bigg
"Little Slocan Lodge may signal a new wave of eco-lodges in British Columbia that build on its rich legacy of alternative lifestyles. A rustic and funky mountain lodge...it is one of the country's most unforgettable inns."
