Originally drawing settlers in with the lure of mountains rich in galena, zinc, silver and other minerals, Kimberley took its name in hopes that the area's natural deposits would be as rewarding as the diamond mines of South Africa's Kimberly.

As well as being noted for its world-class resort hotels, the Canadian Rockies
(covering part of Alberta and British Columbia also
is famous for another type of accommodation - the backcountry lodge. For many
people their image of the ideal Canadian Rockies vacation includes rustic lodges
with accommodations in log-constructed cabins. Indeed the Canadian Rockies does
have a great range of cabin style accommodations. These range from very basic
to very elaborate - and everything in between. However the real qualification
for a backcountry adventure lodge is a remote location amongst awesome scenery,
the close proximity and availability of some type of wilderness adventure experience,
and, no matter how luxurious, a casual ambience.
