Location map of the Purcell Mountains
The 'Purcell Mountains' are a
mountain range in
British Columbia, Canada, located on the west side of the
Columbia Valley and on the east side of the valley of
Kootenay Lake. The only large settlement in the mountains is the
Panorama Ski Resort, although a large destination resort at
Jumbo Mountain is currently in the proposal stage.
The Purcells are known as the Percell Mountains in the United States, where their southern limit protrudes into the states of
Idaho and
Montana, abutting
Lake Koocanusa (formerly the
Kootenai River).
