Within the Crowsnest Pass region one can find towering peaks, tree-filled valleys, quiet lakes, and wide open grassy spaces.  The Pass itself runs east-west, roughly following the path of the Crowsnest River and serving as a main artery connecting Southern Alberta with British Columbia.  Some significant landmarks in the area include Crowsnest Mountain, Frank Slide, Mount Tecumseh, Crowsnest Lake, Chinook Lake and the Crowsnest River. 
Winters in the Pass tend to be cold and snowy, however temperatures can increase suddenly and dramatically during the periodic chinooks that the region experiences.  Summertime brings relatively warm, dry weather to the area.
