You can move from one attraction to the next without ever traveling very far.

The tourist attractions of BC's Kootenay Boundary region include scenic Boundary Creek where just outside of Greenwood on you can see Boundary Falls an impressive waterfall located a short two-minute walk from the highway.

The Greenwood BC Tunnel of Flags is a well known site on Highway-3 and is a great tourist attraction, tourism has become the lifeblood of modern day GreenwoodAfter leaving Jewel Lake you may want to take a look at the Tunnel of Flags. It is a beautiful old train tunnel that was unearthed in the 1990s when a newer tunnel on Highway #3 was blasted and removed.

From here you can park your car and hike in either direction along the magnificent Trans Canada Trail and take in the wondrous natural beauty. A natural beauty one could never see in another Southern British Columbia tourist location. Tourists can take advantage of the impressively beautiful historic view on the Phoenix driving tour, then go to the museum and take in all of the history and beauty the Kootenay Boundary region has become famous for. While you are at the museum don't forget to book a tour of our historical City Hall (featured in the movie ‘Snow Falling on the Cedars’ starring Ethan Hawke).
