The Kootenay Mountaineering Club promotes an interest in mountaineering skills, fellowship, and conservation of the natural values in the mountains.
Volunteers organized outdoor activities year round including hiking, climbing, skiing, mountain biking trips, week long climbing/skiing/hiking camps, and various courses on basic outdoor skills. Our volunteers also maintain four cabins in the Bonnington Range and we are involved in trail development and maintenance.
