High in the Kootenay Ranges of the Rocky Mountains is one of the alpine gems of our park system. Top of the World Park is an area of great beauty.
The park is part of the Top of the World Plateau, most of which is at an elevation in excess of 2,200 m. The jagged peaks of the Hughes Range form a backdrop to the west, and the Van Nostrand Range dominated by Mount Morro at 2,912 m, marks the highest point in the park.
Camping and hiking are popular activities in this backcountry park that has many family-friendly features. An easy and well maintained trail leads to Fish Lake, where a 16 site lake-side campground is located. There is also a public cabin which can accommodate 14 to 18 people.
Although remote, Top of the World Park is beautiful in winter, and is popular with cross-country skiers and ice fishers alike.
