Monkman Provincial Park, located in the Northern Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, covers a vast area of rugged terrain characterized by spectacular waterfalls, diverse ecosystems, and dynamic river systems.

The park features habitats ranging from dense forests and alpine meadows to dramatic mountain landscapes, making it home to a variety of wildlife, including moose, bears, and wolves. The park has significant historical importance, as it was established partly in response to the Monkman Pass Highway project.

Meanwhile, hiking the Monkman Lake Trail offers adventurers a rewarding journey to a pristine alpine lake. Visitors are also drawn to the Tumbling Glacier, brilliant wildflower displays, and opportunities for wilderness camping.
