With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Nelson, 16 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Baldface Lodge, Nelson Whitewater Rafting Co. And Granite Pointe Golf Club. Locals will also likely point you toward Rossland, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Red Mountain Resort. (But we’re also huge fans of Redstone Resort Golf Club and Rossland Museum.)
