"Last Stop: a pond previously overlooked" Kootenay National Park Things to Do Tip by zrim

The road from Vermillion crossing to the village of Radium Hot Springs is 95 kilometers (about 60 miles) one way. And Vermilion Crossing is a good 60 or so kilometers from Banff. If you want to do Kootenay in one day, I strongly suggest an early start because stopping to see all these worthwhile places will easily be a ten to twelve hour day. But well worth it, don't you agree. I felt our day in Kootenay was one of the best that we spent in the Canadian Rockies.
