ROSSLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA

'Rossland' is a mountain city in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia.
Tucked high in the Monashee Mountains, Rossland is at an elevation of 1023 metres (3410 feet). Population today is approximately 4000. But back in 1897, as a result of a gold rush, Rossland for a time was British Columbia's largest city. A number of historic buildings survive from this time. Rossland promotes itself as 'Canada's Mountain Bike Capital' and an extensive trail system radiates from the outskirts of the town. Also nearby is Red Mountain Resort, rated as one of the best in the world for the hard-core skier or snowboarder.
