The natural beauty of Revelstoke (population: 7,500) captivates visitors year-round. Hike or camp amidst the rugged expanse of Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks. Fish freshwater lakes (appropriate license(s) required), paddle fast-flowing rivers or enjoy countless recreation opportunities in the area's three provincial parks. Revelstoke itself has plenty of scenic hiking trails and an extensive mountain bike trail network.
Nearby, restore body and spirit in the area's three mineral hot springs. Or visit Craigellachie to see where Donald Smith struck the Last Spike, forging Canada's first transcontinental railway, then head to the Revelstoke Railway Museum. Don't miss the Revelstoke Dam, one of North America's largest hydroelectric developments.
Winter brings great alpine and cross-country skiing, as well as snowmobiling, cat-skiing, heli-skiing and ice fishing.
