Kootenay National Park is located in southeastern British Columbia Canada, covering in the Canadian Rockies, and forms part of a World Heritage Site. The park ranges in elevation from at the south-west park entrance, to at Deltaform Mountain. Kootenay forms one of the four contiguous mountain parks in the Canadian Rockies; the other three being Banff National Park directly to the east, Yoho National Park directly to the north, and Jasper National Park, which does not share a boundary with Kootenay National Park. Initially called "Kootenay Dominion Park", the park was created in 1920 as part of an agreement between the province of British Columbia and the Canadian federal government to build a highway in exchange for title (property) to a strip of land on either side of the route. A strip of land wide on each side of the newly constructed 94 km. Banff-Windermere Highway was set aside as a national park.
