I did not know what to expect when I first planned my trip to Cranbrook, BC. You will find this city surrounded by the Rocky Mountains and Purcell Mountains. And it is nestled in southeastern British Columbia—the perfect paradise for outdoor lovers.

It also gives you a perfect mix of small-town charm with over just 20,000 people. And the best part? I used a custom itinerary to plan everything while visiting this place. And believed my guys—it helped me discover more than I imagined. 

Exploring The Cranbrook’s Nature was amazing 

Cranbrook’s location is simply a dream for all hikers. The first place you can explore is the paved trail between Cranbrook and Kimberley. It is a part of the Trans-Canada Trail and stretches 28 km. Walking felt like being immersed in nature while staying connected to civilization. Indeed it is great to explore the places on your own. 

But sometimes it feels overwhelming to decide where to start. To avoid this—I ordered for a custom itinerary to the CanadaHustle app. It suggested the stops along the way like the quiet picnic spots and scenic views. 

Then there was the community forest. Imagine 2000 acres of wilderness with trails for hiking and biking. And you are in great luck if you love water adventures. Cranbrook’s lakes and rivers are perfect for fishing, kayaking, and white water rafting.

You can witness some local cultural events and places—where you will learn a lot about the heritage. I also attended a small community event and felt a deeper connection to the region.
