Child seat requirement

Alberta law requires car seats for children up to 6 years or 40 lbs; request one when booking to ensure compliance.

Pack for changing conditions

Bring a light insulating layer and a windproof shell—temperatures can drop entering mountain valleys even in summer.

Conservation Note

Respect thermal features and stay on designated trails; the region balances tourism with fragile subalpine and riparian ecosystems, so pack out waste and limit night-time disturbance.

Kootenay National Park was established in 1920 to protect hot springs and canyon landscapes along early transcontinental routes that encouraged tourism and conservation.
