Here are a handful of pictures taken during September 2012 thru the Kootenays along the routes of BC Hwys 6, 31a, 31, 3a and 3 that were recently mentioned ....I will just focus on the New Denver to Creston stretches here :
Rosebery Provincial Park - around 5 miles north of New Denver -
Real nice peaceful park along Wilson Creek :

Crossroads of BC Hwy 6 at BC Hwy 31a in New Denver :

BC Hwy 31a - the west portion of this route on the New Denver side is more on the windy and banked surfaced to give one an idea :

BC Hwy 31a - Showing the mountain peaks surrounding thru the area :

BC Hwy 31a - Robb Creek and trail bridge :

BC Hwy 31 - South of Kaslo near Ainsworth Hot springs....route follows along the west shore of Kootenay Lake :

Balfour Ferry Terminal Dock :

Driving onto the Osprey 2000 BC Ferry :

Leaving Balfour Terminal - entering Kootenay Lake :

Kootenay Lake - overlooking Balfour shore area :

Kootenay Bay Ferry Terminal Dock - total ferry route was around 30 minutes time :

BC Hwy 3a - Route follows the east shore of Kootenay Lake :


BC Hwy 3 - west end of Canyon St. in Creston :

I too would recommend this route for the leasure RV'er thru the Kootenays.
