Valhalla Provincial Park
'Valhalla' is a Norse word referring to a warrior's heaven, and heaven is an apt word for this magnificent wilderness. The 49,600 ha (120,000 acre) Valhalla Park encompasses most of the Valhalla range of the Selkirk Mountains in southeastern BC.
The park was created as a representative Selkirk Mountain ecosystem. It features massive granite mountains and huge sheer cliffs.
The park takes in 30 km (19 mi) of the western shoreline of beautiful Slocan Lake, and supports dense forests of red cedar and western hemlock. With 80 km (50 mi) of hiking trails, a chain of subalpine lakes for canoeing and kayaking, beautiful waterfalls, roaring rivers, and abundant wildlife, this area is a favorite playground for locals and visitors alike. Much of this mountain area, particularly Mulvey Basin, provides internationally known mountain climbing terrain. As well as Valhalla's spectacular scenery, the park also provides important habitat for grizzly bears and mountain goats.
