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).
