British Columbia - Caves and Caverns Field Trip IdeasNakimu Caves - Glacier National Park of Canada - RevelstokeCavers must apply to the Superintendent for entry into any cave. The Nakimu Caves lie between upper and lower Cougar Valley in the Selkirk Mountains, just west of Rogers Pass on the Trans-Canada Highway. The Caves are reached by hiking three to four hours up and over a mountain pass from the highway, and from there into the Cougar Valley. This constitutes an elevation gain of over 800 metres--followed by an elevation loss and gain again! This is a trip for persons of above-average fitness.Usually caving groups camp in Balu Pass and then travel down into the Cougar Valley, explore the caves, and come back up and hike out as a full day. Camping in Balu Pass is restricted to groups with permits to enter Nakimu Caves.
