A majestic ridge of peaks known as the Steeples frames the location of Cranbrook in the sunny East Kootenays. Wide and mostly flat, the valley location is friendly to easy exploration, with abundant artisanal food products, an excellent recreation centre and a small international airport. Dry cold winters are balanced by hot summer weather. College of the Rockies provides advanced learning opportunities, there is a regional hospital and outdoor adventure trails are plentiful. A well-balanced mix of services and age groups makes this a diverse and lively community.
