British Columbia Tourism Region : Kootenay Rockies

Description From Owner:

Mount Nelson - After Horatio, Viscount Nelson, the victor of Trafalgar.
In his narrative for March 1809, David Thompson mentions 'the rude pyramid of Mount Nelson (for so I named it). Also NELSON ISLAND, Jervis Inlet.
Palliser River - After Captain John Palliser (1817-87), who, under the direction of the British government, spent the period 1857-9 exploring the country between the forty-ninth parallel and the
North Saskatchewan River and between the Red River and the Rockies.
He was also charged with seeking for passes through the Rockies, and this extension of his duties took him into British Columbia.
Windermere Lake - This was David Thompson's 'Kootenae Lake,' near which he founded Kootenae House in 1807.
It was subsequently known as Lower Columbia Lake. It was given its present name in 1883 by G.M. Sproat because of its resemblance to Lake Windermere in the English lake district.
