Sand Sculptures in Castlegar, British Columbia

On a trip through the Crowsnest Pass, we stumble upon a group of sand sculptures and other delights

On a trip through the Crowsnest Pass (the most southerly pass through the Rocky Mountains), we spent a night in Castlegar, BC. As is our custom after a day of riding, we went for a walk and stumbled across some interesting sand sculptures.

Someone had obviously “changed” the sign to www.BoredInCastlegar.com. But we weren’t. We found a lovely community with friendly people. The sculptures were a bonus.
