Ruins & Ridges
Once a bustling mining town, Phoenix lives on as a quiet mountain destination where adventure meets Boundary history. Set between Greenwood and Grand Forks, it offers alpine access above the valley floor and a story carved into the landscape.
High above the ghost town ruins, Phoenix offers outdoor adventure rooted in local history. Ski the slopes in winter, snowshoe or fat bike the Marshall Lake Trails or hike through alpine meadows in fall. With fewer crowds and a welcoming feel, it’s the kind of place where you can take your time and soak up the story in every season.
The Untold Tales of Phoenix.
Phoenix was considered the highest city in Canada at an elevation of 4,600 feet. This hidden gem is a place where history whispers and the echoes of a once-thriving community linger in the crisp mountain air. Once a bustling mining hub in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Phoenix now stands as a testament to the ebbs and flows of human enterprise and the relentless march of time.
