The Selkirk Mountains - British Columbia

Majestic Mt. Sir Donald (10,750ft) is the feature attraction of Glacier National Park, along with its companion glacier, the Illecillewaet Neve. There are intimate views from both the Glacier Crest Trail (6.4 miles 3,296 feet) and the Perley Rock Trail (7.1 miles 3,810 feet), and an all encompassing view from Hermit Basin (3.5 miles, 2,525 feet). For a different perspective Copperstain Pass (21.8 miles 4,440 feet) features fabulous views of the mountain's eastern face.

Mt. Revelstoke National Park has only modest hiking. The central feature of the park is a paved road up to the forested summit of Mt. Revelstoke. However this same road makes a good winter route and if you book the Caribou Cabin, a treasure with propane lights and a wood burning stove, the camping part will be easy. However the five plus miles of snow shoeing to the cabin is tough.
On the whole glaciers are less common in much of the Selkirk Range. Therefore expansive alpine lake basins are more likely to be the primary attraction.

Gwillam Lakes (7.2 miles 2,780 feet) in Valhalla Provincial Park has the distinction of being of of the first alpine trails to melt out. In addition to the main basin, there is an upper basin with a couple smaller lakes, about a 20 minute hike from camping area. Lucifer Pass (an additional 1.9 miles 1360 feet) provides a grand view of the entire basin area.

Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park has numerous lakes and a pair large huts that are open to the public. From the hut at Kaslo Lake a trail leads to Glory Basin where you can loop back out by following the outlet down to Garland Lake. (15 miles 2,700 feet)
