Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, Canada Nov 28, 2023

Nestled in the pristine wilderness of British Columbia, Mount Assiniboine and its surrounding provincial park form a captivating alpine wonderland. Also known as the "Matterhorn of the Rockies", this majestic peak rises to 3,618 metres, commanding attention with its rugged grandeur. The name Assiniboine pays homage to the Indigenous Assiniboine people who once resided here. Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, a protected expanse spanning over 39,000 hectares, fosters wildlife including grizzlies, cougars and mountain goats. A network of trails weaves through this terrain, providing opportunities for hiking, skiing and camping.
