About the neighborhood

Nelson is home to Dancing Bear Inn Hostel. Pulpit Rock is a notable landmark, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Cottonwood Falls Park and Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. Touchstones Museum and Selkirk College Tenth Street Campus are two other places to visit that come recommended. Take time off to check out the hot springs in the area, or get some fresh air with adventures like hiking/biking trails nearby.
