Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park is a wilderness park in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Its centre is the mountain that gives the park its name, a pyramid-shaped peak often called the "Matterhorn of the Rockies," a nickname that reflects its striking, sharply pointed profile rising above the surrounding ranges.
The park suits visitors who come for the mountains themselves. Its character is that of a true wilderness setting rather than a town or a developed resort, so a trip here is best approached as an outdoor experience, with the scenery and the open landscape as the main attraction.
What a visit offers
- Views of Mount Assiniboine, the pyramid-shaped peak that defines the park
- Wilderness scenery typical of British Columbia's Rocky Mountains
- A quieter, back-country atmosphere suited to hikers and those who enjoy nature
Because the park is wild country, it is worth planning ahead and checking current access and conditions with the provincial authorities before setting out, and bringing appropriate clothing and gear for mountain weather.
