Revelstoke is a hiker’s paradise. There are options spanning short to long; river valley flats to alpine ridges; and a diversity of ecosystems in between, including the only inland temperate rain forest in the world. We are lucky to have two national parks close by, offering hikes for any level: from short and (relatively) flat, to long, steep, ridge walks and summits. Outside of the parks lie a plethora of other hiking opportunities.Whether it’s the majestic view across a sea of peaks or an up close examination of the alpine flowers, you will be surrounded by beauty in your hiking excursion. By Nancy Geismar Resident Naturalist
Explore our backyard at Mount Revelstoke National Park. From town, you can walk up into the Park, accessing the 2 km, 5 km and Inspiration (3 km) loops as well as the 10 km summit trail which takes you to the top. This park spans the gamut of ecosystems, from rain forest (Interior Cedar/Hemlock) in lower realms, ascending to the snow forest (Engelman Spruce/Subalpine Fir) and ending at the summit in upper subalpine meadows. These meadows are flower-filled in July and August. From the summit, there are various short loops (each approximately 1 km in length), as well as some longer hikes towards Eva and Miller Lakes and Jade Lake. These lakes offer a refreshing dip on a hot day. For even better views, hike up to Jade Pass.
Pack a lunch and head out for the day 45 minutes east on Hwy #1 to Rogers Pass: the center of Glacier National Park. Here is the birthplace of North American mountaineering and the park is also steeped in railway history. Glacier National Park is well named, and when at Rogers Pass, you will see glaciers to the north and the south.. Abbott's Ridge is a local favorite, offering 360 degree views of the surrounding peaks once on the ridge. Park at the Asulkan/Illecillewaet parking lot to access the trailhead. The official trail ends near the start of the ridge but you can continue towards the summit of Mt Abbott for a little ways if you are comfortable with exposure.

Revelstoke climbing is best known for its easily accessible, single pitch sports climbing on steep rock. Most routes range from easier 5.8 to difficult 5.12 climbing. Before you hit the wall, stop off at Valhalla Pure for a Revelstoke Rock guidebook. Most of the crags don’t have signs, and this book has excellent information on how to get there. Always pack a helmet when heading out climbing in Revelstoke.
The Vertically Inclined
Head out to Begbie Bluffs, a zone housing single pitch, easily accessible sports climbing. This climbing area is located just 10 minutes out of town on Hwy 23 S. A 15 minute walk on a well-defined trail will have you climbing in no time.. This area is kid and dog friendly, and most walls have afternoon sun. A spectacular day can be spent on these key walls: Raptor wall, Rabbit wall, Popeye wall, and Bifacial wall. Some of the best climbs in this area are: High and Dry 5.8, Bifacial Retouch 5.9, Quid Pro Quo 5.10a, Octagon 10.b, Good Guys Wear Black 5.10b, Flashdance 5.11a, and Spanakopita 5.11c.

Revelstoke is home to hundreds of kilometres of sweet singletrack offering up something for every type of rider. World class trail networks can be found on all sides of the valley bottom, dozens of shuttle access freeride trails snake through the mid-mountain elevations, and up high you’ll find our trademark alpine trails. It would take weeks to ride everything here but if you’ve only got a couple of days, then stock up on energy bars (or burritos and Mt Begbie beer) and follow this jam-packed itinerary.
Head out early to Mt. Macpherson for a quick spin on some classic Revy singletrack. Flowdown is a great new trail that is buff and fast while trails like Tantrum and Sex On The Beach will give you more of a technical challenge. If eye popping all-mountain type descents are what you’re after then check out trails like Berm Donor, SuperHappy-Fun or my favourite, TNT to Break-a-Leg. After your morning pedal, fuel up and get yourself dropped off at the Frisby Ridge XC trailhead. This buttery smooth out-and-back trail climbs through old growth forests and alpine meadows for 11 km before dropping down to a small alpine lake, very invigorating on a warm summer day. The views are amazing in all directions, but keep your eyes on the trail and revel in the fast, flowing and super-playful descent back to the trailhead parking area. Continue on to the steep and technical Ultimate Frisby DH trail and keep shredding. This trail combo dishes up over 5000 feet of descending and measures in at 30km total. The Frisby DH spits you out at the base of Boulder Mountain, Revelstoke’s freeride playground. Go and do some shuttle laps of Loggin’ Leftovers, Iron Lotus, or local’s favourite, Boondocker. There are about a dozen distinct trails on Boulder which offer something for everyone. Wooden features, jumps, drops, steeps, and high speed flow are all found on these DH trails. Finish your day shuttling right into the sunset.
Start your morning with a scenic drive to the Keystone Standard Basin trailhead. Keystone is another Revelstoke alpine treasure. More technically demanding than Frisby, Keystone is an 11.5 km out-and-back trail that challenges riders with its steep punchy climbs, rugged fast descents and exposed side-hill sections, all mixed in with the most perfect alpine singletrack you will find anywhere. This backcountry trail sports awe-inspiring views and is the epitome of Revelstoke mountain biking. Big mountains and big adventure! On your way back to town you will find the Sale Mtn FSR and the EPIC Martha Creek DH trail, a favourite amongst Dh’ers and Enduro riders. Shuttle up 5000 feet to the summit of Sale Mountain and get gripped for a thrilling 9 km descent! The trail finishes at the Martha Creek Provincial Park on the shores of Lake Revelstoke, the perfect place to wrap up your weekend with a refreshing swim and a satisfying “Cheers!” By Matt Yaki Wandering Wheels Owner/Operator Resident Two Wheeled Traveler

Once you've reached expert status, after some loops on "Hybrid" or "Squirrel City ", the long and very challenging "Rowlands Revenge" will give you what you desire. This trail, with its remoteness, relentless features, and amazing views, will certainly go down as one of the premier trails in Canada.

With stunning views of Mt Begbie, Mt Mackenzie & Boulder Mountain and the crisp mountain air, it will surely be an invigorating start to your day. Afterwards, head to the clubhouse for lunch on our patio where you can watch other golfers try their luck at the 18th green. If you’ve never been to Revelstoke before, we suggest you take some time in the afternoon to explore our vibrant little community. Before you head out on the town, make sure to swing through our Golf Shop to check out all of the latest clothing, shoes and equipment which our knowledgeable staff will assist you with. If you’re here on a Friday, you don’t want to miss out on Grip It & Sip It! Just show up after 5pm and for $30/couple you can enjoy our driving range, 3 holes of golf, a beer, snacks and our one-of-a-kind “Break the Glass” contest.
If you've had a big night, start your recovery with breakfast in the clubhouse followed by a golf clinic at 10am. Take advantage of our wonderful practice facilities and some great tips to enhance your golf game. After lunch (included with your clinic), put those new skills to good practice on the course. Cruise our easy-to-walk course and enjoy the game while marveling over the vast wildlife that calls Revelstoke its home. Watch the osprey plunge into the Columbia River in search of their next meal while grizzly bears peruse the shoreline for theirs. Bald eagles roost in their homes high above and it’s not uncommon to spot a black bear taking a stroll across the course, stopping for a snack at the plum tree on #12. Round off the evening and your Revelstoke golf experience with dinner over live music and a game of poker or pool upstairs to follow, certainly a fantastic memory to take home.

We’ve all heard the saying ‘the numbers don’t lie,’ and when it comes to Revelstoke Mountain Resort, that’s a good thing!
Get fueled for your first day on the mountain with a brioche and latte from La Baguette at the foot of the mountain.
At 5620 ft. we have the most vertical in North America. Stack the Great Pyramid, Eiffel Tower, Empire State Building, CN Tower, Space Needle, Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Statue of Liberty on top of each other and you've got our vertical, easily accessible with our high speed lifts.
Start your day by signing up at the Revelstoke Outdoors Centre for a half day lesson to refresh your skills and get a feel for the mountain.
How you get down is full of possibilities, with 65 runs, 3 alpine bowls, and 3121 acres of diverse terrain waiting for you to explore. Cover that with the 30-45 ft. of annual snow (and subtract the lines you find at most other big resorts.) Our longest single run, the Last Spike (green top to bottom,) is 15.2 km long. When you're ready, we've got 46% blue and 47% black runs to grow into. Bottom line - you can't argue with the numbers. Everything at RMR adds up to a great time!

Stop for lunch at the MacKenzie Outpost and grab a Bruce Burger to enjoy in the warming hut or on a patio with a stellar view of Revelstoke below. Spend the afternoon practicing all your good habits from the morning session. At the end of the day try to make it top to bottom. Your legs will be burning, but you’ll have earned your après at The Mackenzie Common Tavern - make sure to try the signature ugly sweater. For dinner, The Rockford is just steps away (good news for your quads) and serves up tasty Asian-inspired eats in a mountain chic setting. Still not exhausted from your day on the mountain? Head into town for the latest flick at the Roxy Theatre, the local theater serving up Weaver Gold popcorn with REAL BUTTER! w w w .S e e R e v e l s t o k e . c o m
Rise and shine extra early to get a head start on the day with First Tracks - a breakfast buffet mid-mountain followed by early access to all the fresh powder. A morning with a guide from the ROC will further improve your skills and your knowledge of the 3121 acres of terrain, all accessible by the Revelation Gondola and two high speed quad chairs. For your lunch, indulge with a pint of the seasonal local Begbie Beer at the Rockford with a ginger beef on the side. Or try the soup and salad combo. Make the most of your second day and head back to the mountain for as many hot laps as you can. Enjoy your descent back to reality with some pampering at the Refinery Day Spa before you head out for an evening on the town. Dine at Woolsey Creek for an unforgettable French culinary experience or if you’re a sushi fan, you have to go to Kawakubo. Don’t let the fact that we’re a mountain town fool you, this place needs to be experienced.

The Powder Hound
Beyond Revelstoke's manicured slopes and high speed quads lies a snow-covered paradise waiting to be discovered. With the world’s best helicopter and cat ski companies offering guided access to three famous mountain ranges, it’s no coincidence that Revelstoke is known as the ultimate cat and heliski destination for skiers and snowboarders from around the globe. The Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges boast the best variety of terrain in the world, and all abilities can enjoy this powder paradise. Runs range from wide open glaciers to more challenging tree skiing, steeps, and couloirs. For powder-hungry riders with a thirst for adventure, a trip to Revelstoke is not complete without making laps with a warm snowcat as your chariot or scoping lines from above while flying over jagged horizons decorated with untracked slopes. Each of the local cat and heliski companies operate in their own distinct tenure and provide one common guarantee; to facilitate a unique and safe experience with exclusive access to pristine wilderness ski terrain and a fully certified guide to get you to the goods. Whether you are a first time day skier or an unlimited vertical veteran, you will be paired with friendly, experienced, and certified guides who have a vast knowledge of the terrain and snowpack. By Izzy Lynch Mica Heliskiing Sales & Marketing Manger Resident Powder Hound

After warming up with a day on the resort, book a day-trip with any of the cat ski operations around Revelstoke. Either join a group as a solo rider, or talk to the operation about filling a cat with a group of friends. Click into a pair of fat skis (ski and snowboard rentals are included in the tour price) and enjoy amazing deep powder descents and cozy climbs, as you kick back with a hot cup of tea or a delicious snack in the cat that carries you back up the slope for another round. Don’t forget to load up your ipod with music that gets you pumped to ride. Most cats are equipped with sound systems, and are happy to facilitate between-run dance parties.
With a belly full of gourmet cookies, (cat and heliski operations are known for fueling their guests with decadent cuisine) and a day of powder skiing under your belt, you’ll be ready for an aerial tour of the vast glaciers and lofty peaks that surround Revelstoke. Many of the local heliski operations offer an array of single and multi-day packages to suit your needs and budget. To have full discretion over your experience organize a group of four and book a private A-star tour. If you are on your own, or want to meet new skiers- join in on a larger group and sit back and enjoy the ride. There is always more to discover and for many guests a few days of cat or heliskiing just isn’t enough. To fully immerse yourself in the experience consider a week-long backcountry escape at one of the luxurious heli or cat-ski lodges close by.

The Backcountry Junkie
Powder slayers, deep snow lovers, you found yourself at the right place! Revelstoke is an amazing place to ski in and out of bounds. With record snowfall every year, whether you are a resort skier or a backcountry fanatic, there are plenty of options to satisfy your craving for adventures. Of course with the desire to explore comes a fair amount of risk. Before heading out to spend an incredible day in the mountains, make sure you and your group have the appropriate equipment, knowledge, and information about the snowpack, avalanche condition and weather. Every day starts with a quick look at www.avalanche.ca. If you feel overwhelmed and want to make the most of your day in the mountains, think about hiring a ski guide. Play safe & enjoy! Ski local at our go-to zone on Mount Macpherson. Whether you simply want to go out for a small day or a full one, Mt Macpherson never disappoints. Park at the Cross-Country ski lodge (5$ parking fee) follow the Main Loop up until you get to the Mountain Climb Trail, which is the second trail junction about 1.5 km from the Parking Lot. From there, the cross-country ski trail will end with a bridge crossing. The uphill track starts from there. There are several options from this point. You can either climb up “The fingers” which are the prominent avalanche corridors that can be seen from town. The Fingers are ideal for a shorter day or multiple descents. You can climb to the top of the fingers and explore the ridge finally leading to the summit if you have the legs and the lungs. From the summit, skiing “The Womb,” which is a large avalanche path on the skier’s right of the summit is always a great end to the day. If, from the bridge, you choose to keep going on the Mountain climb trail until the end, you will find yourself surrounded by large cedar trees. Lap these trees or climb higher to gain a zone called the Burnt Nob. If you are willing to drive, nothing is quite like a day at Rogers Pass. Head 75km East of Revelstoke and you will find yourself in Glacier National Park, one of the best places to backcountry ski in Canada. The possibilities are endless here. The best place to start is a quick visit to the Discovery Centre where you can buy you Park Pass, get a Day permit for access, and find out what zones are open for the day. Please note that artillery is used regularly for avalanche control to keep the highway corridor safe for all, so it is your responsibility to check that the area you are wanting to explore is actually open that day. One great zone to ski/ride is actually right from the Discovery Centre. Walk behind the hotel to find the trailhead. Follow the trail up the Connaught drainage to find many options along the way. Grizzly Shoulder, Teddy Bear Trees and Ursus Trees and 8812 are on the right hand side. Hour Glass & Cheops are on the left side of the drainage.

The Nordic Enthusiast
The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club can trace its roots back to 1891. Today the club is a registered non-profit organization. Almost all of the services provided by the club are accomplished by the hundreds of volunteer hours of its members. These services include trail maintenance, trail grooming, groomer servicing, special events, website maintenance, our newsletter, and a Ski League Program for children. The trailhead is 7 km south of Revelstoke on Highway 23, at an elevation of about 640 metres. The Revelstoke area is famous for its huge snowfall (almost 350 cm per year measured at the Revelstoke Airport) and the trail system’s easterly aspect helps keep snow conditions excellent throughout the season. Approximately 26 km of trails are groomed for both skating and classic technique with a Bombardier BR275. Group and private lessons are available through our in-house coach, and ski rentals are offered at local Nordic retailers. Our snow phone, website, and Facebook page can provide you with daily trail condition reports. Grooming usually starts in late November with a final grooming in late March. For the 2014/15 season, we have a new light system on 6km of trails. By Brendan MacIntosh Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club Executive Resident Nordic Enthusiast

Now that you’re comfortable on the trails, show up after dark. Ski our six kilometers of new lit trails, and then put on your headlamp with a picnic dinner in your backpack and ski up to the Ole Sandberg cabin, via the Main Loop trail. The cabin is rustic and basic, with a wood stove and a large deck. After dinner, finish your ski around Main Loop and back to the main day lodge.
Try out the perimeter loop; clockwise, beginning with Mickey’s Loop, Main Loop, Loggers Lane, and Hydro Way, and making your way back via Beaver Lake, Easy Al’s, and Roadway Ramble. Extend this with a quick descent down Novice glide and back up Cedar Ramble if you want a longer ski.

Sledding in Revelstoke offers some of the best mountain riding in the world and every day I am thankful to be living in such a picture perfect town! Seeing the sun rise over Boulder Mountain means a great day ahead. Our two most popular riding areas are Boulder and Frisby Mountains, offering groomed trails up into the alpine.
The Mountain Sledder
Once in the alpine the riding is endless, from deep and open bowls, to tight and technical trees. Being up in the mountains during the winter is a sight to behold, with views as far as the eye can see.
Get up early to chase the powder. Join a morning snowmobile tour – your certified guide will ensure you get the best out of your ride, the groomed trails on Frisby Ridge, and the legendary alpine powder. Now that you are familiar with your machine, the trails, and the snowpack, rent a snowmobile, and spend the afternoon exploring the vast network of groomed trails and challenging alpine terrain on Frisby Ridge and Boulder mountains. Don’t forget a trail map.Take a flask and enjoy a hot chocolate at the Frisby Cabin, and push your limits on the Bill Gill Trail right up to the summit as darkness falls on the spectacular views. Now head back down to town for a well-deserved cold Mount Begbie Brew!
Rent a snowmobile (or use your own machine), and explore. Pack some food, extra layers and all your safety gear. Trailer up and take a drive to one of the epic snowmobile zones in the surrounding area. Try Sale Mountain or Keystone/Standard basin to the North, or Hall Mountain to the South. Be sure to check for current snow and avalanche conditions, and obey all seasonal area closures. Contact revelstokesnowmobileclub. com for more details, and avalanche.ca for the latest bulletins. After all that, your aching body will appreciate a soak in the hot tub at the Community Centre or at your hotel. Treat yourself to a massage at one of Revelstoke’s finest spas to ease those tired muscles. Share your stories and adventures with your buddies over dinner, and start planning your next snowmobile trip in Revelstoke.

The Fun Family
The magnificent mountain scenery and the enormous amounts of snow that fall here during the winter is what really put Revelstoke on the map, but there are so many more attractions that make Revelstoke one of the best places to live, explore and experience with your family. In the winter months, head to Turtle Creek at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, which features a magic carpet for beginner skiiers, and a tubing area that is sure to keep your little ones entertained. Nordic skiing at Mount Macpherson is a great place to visit with the family, bring some hot chocolate in a thermos for a treat at the Sandberg Cabin. Summer adventures abound in Revelstoke during our warmer months. If you are only here for a short while this summer, here is the best of Revelstoke 2 days.

Drive east on Hwy #1 to Giant Cedars Boardwalk trail in Mount Revelstoke National Park, a great destination for all ages with an easy 2km loop on a beautiful boardwalk that winds through old growth interior rain forest.

One of our favorite places to bring a picnic lunch or dinner is Martha Creek Provincial Park, 17 km away on Hwy 23N.

Drive west on Hwy #1 to SkyTrek and The Enchanted Forest. The Enchanted forest brings fairy tales alive and is a fun experience for the whole family, especially the younger kids. SkyTrek has an amazing variety of challenging and exhilarating activities for kids and adults. Spend the heat of the day at our local beach at Williamson Lake, located just a few km from town. It has a nice small sandy beach and a dock to swim from. There is also a small store that can do a BBQ lunch. It features a new playground and beach volleyball courts. SUP boards are also available to rent on site. Get out of the sun and into your car to take a drive into the sky. The views that can be seen from the top of Mount Revelstoke are definitely worth the 26km drive up. There is a variety of short (or long) trails to choose from that will suit all capabilities, but will still reward each visitor with spectacular views of our surrounding mountain ranges. After dinner, enjoy the free music entertainment happening every evening in Grizzly Plaza.

The History Buff
Revelstoke is a community that oozes history around every corner. From the lovingly restored heritage homes and commercial buildings, to the numerous museums, there is an opportunity for everyone to get in touch with the spirit of Revelstoke. Stroll down any street in Revelstoke, and you see that it has retained many of its original early 20th century business buildings. This is a city that acknowledges its history and celebrates it. The community was established in 1885 during the time of construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but even long before that the Sinixt First Nation, the explorers and fur traders, and the gold miners were discovering the beauties and the challenges of this region. There are many ways to explore this fascinating history. We are proud of our history and heritage and are delighted to share it with you. By Cathy English Curator of Revelstoke Museum & Archives Resident History Buff

Marvel Revelstoke’s ski pioneers in the “First Tracks” exhibit. If your family has arly connections to Revelstoke, talk to the knowledgeable archives staff to explore your roots. Pick up a copy of the Heritage Walking Tour brochure for a self-guided tour of the city and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the beautiful Heritage Garden. A trip to Revelstoke wouldn’t be complete without a guided tour of the Nickelodeon Museum, a remarkable private collection of mechanical musical instruments. Plan for 1 ½ to 2 hours for this unique experience. The collection is housed in the beautifully restored McKinnon block, built in 1912 as a pool hall. End your day with a walk along the Revelstoke River Trail, starting at the Community Centre, and follow the heritage markers for a history lesson as you enjoy stunnign views along the Columbia River, and across the Mark Kingsbury Pedestrian Bridge. w w w .S e e R e v e l s t o k e . c o m

Location Revelstoke is located on the Trans Canada Highway, nestled between the Selkirk and Monashee Mountain ranges in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Our town is surrounded by two National Parks - Mt Revelstoke from the east and Glacier from the west. These two parks collaboratively make for some of the most breathtaking scenery British Columbia has to offer. By Air Scheduled regional service with national and international connections is available in the nearby centers of Kelowna (2.5 hours to the southwest) and Kamloops (3 hours to the west), with ground transport to Revelstoke. International access is available to gateway airports in Calgary and Vancouver, transferring to regional airlines and/or ground transport. Direct scheduled flights to and from Kelowna are also available from major North American hub airports including Seattle, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary. By Car Revelstoke is located right on the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy #1), making it easy to access from both the east and the west. Travelling from the east, you pass through two National Parks in the Selkirk Mountains, featuring views of white-water rivers, pristine forests, dramatic peaks, and impressive glaciers. Travelling from the west, your journey takes you through the scenic Okanagan Valley. If you are renting a vehicle and traveling during our snowy Revelstoke winter months, allow extra travel time for weather, and make sure to have winter tires on your vehicle. Check Drive BC for the latest road conditions (www.drivebc.ca).
