Kristin Polier, Cranbrook
She grew up in Cranbrook, but it wasn’t until she began dating her husband-to-be that Kristin Polier discovered the wild spaces in her own backyard.
“My husband also grew up here,” Polier says. “He and his family introduced me to hiking. Now we love to backpack into places and camp overnight—and in the winter, we go snowboarding at Kimberley and Fernie.”
Polier works as an administrative assistant in Cranbrook. She cherishes weekends when she can escape up Fisher Peak or to Lakit Lookout in the Rockies, but her favourite spot of all is the Dewar Creek hot springs, in the Purcells. “We try to go when there aren’t so many people around,” she says. “I love finding secluded spots.”
What keeps her visiting the region’s wild spaces? “The beauty,” she says. “Every time I go out there, I’m simply in awe of the beauty.”
