HIKING

REVELSTOKE SITS IN THE THICK OF BC’S ONLY INLAND TEMPERATE RAINFOREST.

Your boots were made for walking and these trails were made for those boots. From short river-valley flats to long alpine ridges, we’ve got you covered.

Downtown Revelstoke’s Greenbelt River Trails are as short or as long as you want to make them. With easy in and out points all along the way, these paths are also home to roughly 60 species of beautiful birds for watching.

You can also visit Sutherland Falls in Blanket Creek Provincial Park. It’s a 5 minute walk to a 60 ft. chute of cascading water that brave kayakers sometimes take a puckering plunge down. Enjoy them cozily from dry land!

REVELSTOKE HIKING MAP: Pick up yours for free from the Revelstoke Visitor Centre or visit our website. For another impressive wall of tumbling water, wind your way down Highway 23 South for 8km until you get to the parking lot with a trail head sign for Begbie Falls Recreation Trail. Traverse through the mossy forest of giant trees for 3km until you get to the recreation site. It’s a short, steep hike onto the falls from here. After you take in the mist, get some sun and an unfiltered view of the Selkirk Mountains down on the pebble beach along the Upper Arrow Lake Flats.

Want more? Head to Revelstoke Mountain Resort and explore 23km of lift accessed hiking trails serving up incredible views of the surrounding peaks. There’s no more iconic peak in Revelstoke than Begbie, with its soaring double summits bursting out of a glacier aproned around it. Named for a famous 19th century judge with a stiff upper lip, this mountain is serious. The trail is steep with outstanding and rewarding views, which only come after several hours of hiking. Once you reach the campsite where the vistas begin in the alpine, you’ll need mountaineering skills to carry on any farther. There’s a glacier to cross and an exposed scramble to the top.

Short on time but still craving adventure? Local guiding companies offer heli hiking tours to alpine areas throughout the region.
