About Kootenay Escapes Book
The founders of Mountain Art Publishing, Lucas and Ginia Jmieff, have trekked to many wilderness areas of the West Kootenay to bring you an exciting perspective of the region. The pairs' vision is to inspire readers with the natural beauty of the Kootenays of BC. Ginia and Lucas have opened the door for anyone to take a "Kootenay Escape" all the while keeping their shoes clean (by reading the book).
Kootenay Escapes takes you on a grand journey through the Kootenays most prized scenic places. Discover the pristine meadows of Drinnon Pass and Gwillim Lakes. Enjoy the views of the spectacular Mt Gimli and Mulvey Basin in Valhalla Park. Marvel at the endless rugged peaks from the summit of Mount Loki. Explore the waterfalls and moraines of MacBeth Icefield. Step into an alpine wonderland of meadows and glacier views at Monica Meadows in the Purcell Mountains.
