Cranbrook

Cranbrook occupies the Rocky Mountain Trench in British Columbia’s East Kootenay region. The city lies between the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Canadian Rockies to the east, in the wider Kootenay River country of southeastern Canada. Elizabeth Lake, a wetland within the city, is a familiar stop for birdwatchers and a reminder that this is a high-country urban centre rather than a mountain resort. Railways shaped Cranbrook’s growth, and the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel is housed in the restored 1898 Canadian Pacific Railway station; its collection includes preserved passenger cars. Downtown serves surrounding ranching, forestry and outdoor-recreation communities.
