HIKING.

From river valleys to alpine ridges, Revelstoke is truly a hiker's paradise. Revelstoke has trails to suit any ability or time frame. On a clear day, the alpine is accessible and offers fantastic views of the Monashee and Selkirk Mountains. In inclement weather, try a riverside walk or waterfall trail. If you’re not up to a ton of vertical don’t worry - the Revelstoke Mountain Resort Gondola and Meadows in the Sky Parkway will get you up high without breaking a sweat!

Glacier National Park | 12.8km return | 1,145 m elevation gain | Advanced 🐕‍🦺 Pets are allowed on leash, unless otherwise noted on the Parks Canada site This trail leads you up past Vaux Creek with great views of natural waterfalls, then launches into what some would call a 'brutal climb' into the alpine. Many switchbacks lead you up towards the Illecillewaet Glacier. In the early season, snow crossing might be mandatory to access the foot of the icefield. Exercise extreme caution and consider bringing crampons, or turn around. Important: Glaciers are constantly moving and changing. Due to the unstable nature of retreating glacial ice, ice caves and ice overhangs are not safe to walk underneath. Do not enter the ice caves.
