Elko

Elko stands at the junction of the Elk and Kootenay rivers in southeastern British Columbia, where the Rocky Mountain Trench creates a long valley corridor between the Rocky Mountains and the Purcell Mountains. The community is part of the East Kootenay, with Highway 3 following the river country through the settlement. This is traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation, whose homeland extends across much of southeastern British Columbia and into neighbouring Alberta, Montana and Idaho. Elko’s location puts Lake Koocanusa to the south and the Elk Valley, including Fernie, to the north.
