Bugaboo Provincial Park

Bugaboo Provincial Park spans 13,646 hectares featuring 24 granite peaks and spires, with Howser Spire reaching an elevation of 3,412 meters.

The park emerged from the 1995 combination of Bugaboo Glacier Park and Bugaboo Alpine Recreation Area, following gold discoveries in the region during 1895.

The territory holds significance for Ktunaxa, Shuswap, and Sinixt Nations, who inhabited these lands for more than 10,000 years before European contact.

The Conrad Kain Hut provides accommodation for 40 climbers, while the Malloy Igloo shelters 6 people, both requiring advance preparation and proper climbing equipment.

The granite formations resulted from magma that never reached Earth's surface, creating batholith structures found in only two locations across Canada.
