Incredible Heritage Town | Historic Court House in Nelson |
For those of you who follow my postings in the travel forum, you'll know that I am constantly raving about Nelson. Maybe these pictures will help you understand why. I was taken aback by the beauty of this town when we first visited.
I want to get back here after I get my bike - these are some great motorcycle roads! Now that a friend of mine has bought a place here, maybe we will be able to visit more often... |
|  | Historic Buildings Add to the Charm There are dozens of buildings in Nelson which are on the historic register. The town is very clean and friendly. But there is some controversy regarding their "no dog" policy. Folks are not allowed to bring their dogs downtown with them, even on a leash. They are not allowed! Needless to say, a lot of people appreciate this rule, while a lot of other people do not! |
| | The Lakes The Kootenays are one of my favorite spots in BC. This picture was taken from the Crawford Bay/Balfour ferry, which crosses Kootenay Lake. |

| Pros: | "Historic Town in a Natural Setting" | | Cons: | "Haven't found any yet" | | In A Nutshell: | "If you want to relax, go experience "Kootenay Time"!" |

Nelson's a BEAUTIFUL town..and the whole area is amazing..I did a road run once from Vancouver up to Kaslo and West.It was a woman working in the Tourists Booth in Nelson that put me onto the hot springs at Priests Creek..Nice page...good tips!@ | balhannah Tue Mar 10, 2009 09:49 UTC
We enjoyed Nelson also. Didn't get to the hot springs as we ran out of time, too many stops on the round trip from Creston. | dabidc Tue Nov 27, 2007 03:25 UTC
Enjoyed the great photos of your walk around Nelson, some great old buildings all spruced up. An excellent area to take life quietly, but keep ferry timetables in mind. | Bwana_Brown Wed Mar 21, 2007 18:48 UTC
After seeing these pics, I can't blame you for raving about Nelson! Wow, this place is really beautiful and it helped that you had great looking weather! The Needles ferry reminded me of similar ones in southern New Brunswick. |
