NEIGHBOURHOOD
Tucked into a quiet residential area of Elkford, Rockhard Retreat puts you close to the everyday essentials while keeping the Canadian Rockies right outside your door. Green space behind the property adds to the peaceful setting, while the home’s roomy driveway and trailer-friendly parking make it especially convenient for guests arriving with bikes, sleds or other outdoor gear.

Known as the Wilderness Capital of British Columbia, Elkford is a small mountain community surrounded by rugged peaks, rivers and seemingly endless backcountry. The area offers more than 30 kilometres of scenic trails, with options ranging from relaxed walks and family-friendly loops to mountain biking, cross-country skiing and more challenging alpine adventures.

During the warmer months, spend your days hiking to local viewpoints, exploring the Lost Lake and Lily Lake loops, fishing the Elk or Fording rivers, riding nearby trails or playing a round at Mountain Meadows Golf Course. When the snow arrives, Elkford becomes a playground for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. Wapiti Ski Hill offers family-friendly downhill skiing right in town, while the surrounding Elk Valley is home to extensive Nordic and snowmobile trail systems.

Rockhard Family Fitness is located directly next door for guests who would like to fit in a workout during their stay. Access is not included with the home and must be purchased separately through the gym.
