Head south on 23,
Halsyon hot springs are 10 minutes after getting off the Ferry. At Nakusp there are more hot springs, both locations have campsites, however summer is busy. From Nakusp travel south to New Denver, there is campgound right on the shores of Slocan Lake. From New Denver pop over the hump to Kaslo. A little ways out of New Denver is a turn off to Sandon, a ghost town, or what’s left of one. There is also a hike to Idaho Peak BC and there is a outfit that has a shuttle bus to the parking lot, which is up a logging road, easy hike even for kids. In Kaslo there is the dry docked ladder wheeler Moyie, which is open to tour ( small cost) Kaslo is on Kootenay Lake and just south of Kaslo is another Hot Springs called Ainsworth Hot Springs. At the Ferry landing at Balfour you can either take the longest free Ferry ride in the world across Kootenay lake on the Creston BC and cross the boarder just a ice Boners Ferry ID, or head south down towards Nelson BC and either take Hwy 6 south to Salmo or follow Hwy 3-A south towards Castlegar then onto Trail BC and cross the boarder at Waneta BC. Check all boarder crossing for hours open as they are all different. Also Google the names of the places I listed, there are a lot of areas to camp, hike and exspore on this route. And 4 days isn’t near enough time to exspolrethis area. Note: we live in Castlegar, and traveling south into Wash State Seattle is a one day drive, pulling s rig will most liklely take longer
