The communities of Rock Creek, Midway, Grand Forks, Christina Lake,  Salmo and Creston are connected by The Crowsnest Highway (#3) along which can be found attractions ranging from guest ranches to horseback riding and camping while a drive off Highway 3 along Highway 3B will take you to Rossland, known as Canada's Alpine City, Trail and Fruitvale for museum tours, snowskiing, hiking and golf. The famous Dewdney Trail parallels Highway 3 while former back country logging roads now make excellent 4X4 and hiking trails offering access to thousands of acres of crown land. 
        
Located halfway between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains, Midway is famous as Mile 0 of the abandoned Kettle River Railroad Line.  Greenwood is Canada's smallest city and was once a thriving mining town with the smoke stack from the old smelter serving as a reminder. From Rock Creek take a drive along scenic Highway 33 which follows the Kettle River  and passes through Westbridge and Beaverdell on the way to Kelowna in the Okanagan.  

A visit to the area you can enjoy several provincial parks, golf courses,  ski hills, museums, industrial and wilderness/adventure tours and the warmth of some great Western hospitality.
