Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park, Provincial park in the Selkirk Mountains, Canada

Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park is a large protected area in the Selkirk Mountains with three major glaciers and many high-altitude lakes. The landscape features steep valleys, snow-covered peaks, and cold alpine waters fed by glacier melt.

The area became one of British Columbia's first protected parks in 1922. This early designation followed decades when mining and logging activity had shaped the region.

The name Kokanee comes from a Salish word meaning "red fish", referring to the sockeye salmon. Many of the park's hiking trails began as miners' routes for transporting ore during the alpine mining boom that started in the late 1880s. The Alpine Club of Canada manages the Kokanee Glacier, Silver Spray and Woodbury cabins.

The high-elevation terrain demands proper preparation and sturdy gear, as weather and conditions remain extreme throughout the year. Visitors should bring waterproof tents, reliable camp stoves, and warm clothing, since temperature drops can happen suddenly.

Grays Peak, the park's second-highest summit at 2,753 m, appears on the label of Kokanee beer, brewed by Columbia Brewery. The mountain is named after Robert Hampton Gray, a Victoria Cross recipient, and his brother John Balfour Gray. The park's name Kokanee anglicises a Salish word meaning "red fish", referring to the sockeye salmon.
