This is different from the gondola. it is a winding mountain road that takes one by car to the top of the mountain.

Hello! Are there any viewpoints accessible in winter? The Meadows in the Sky Parkway is closed in the winter? Are there portions that are open and are there any short and scenic snowshoeing trails? Thanks!

Sorry I dont know since I was there in August. There is a great Tourist Information office in the nearby town of Revelstoke. Maybe they can answer your question.

We are going to start visiting National Parks from Mt Revelstoke NP (Meadows in the Sky Parkway). Is it possible to buy Discovery Pass (annual) at the enter of this parkway? Can I pay by credit card for it? Thanks.

I know they have staffed booths both at Meadows in the Sky and at the Cedar Boardwalk Trail at Mt. Revelstoke. Should be possible to pick it up (as per Joan's post). If you are coming from Vancouver, you could also stop in at Fort Langley National Historic site on your way out of town and get it there.

Meadows-in-the-Sky Parkway - is it open now? (4 Replies)

I think it's very doubtful. There was a lot of late-season snowfall and it's has not been a warm spring. The following was posted by the "Mt. Revelstoke and Glacier NP" social media person on the "Parks Mountain Safety" facebook page: "Second highest snowfall recorded for March at the Mt. Fidelity research station in Glacier National Park - 315 cm of snowfall. The highest recorded season was March, 2011/2012 with 324 cm. The average over 49 yrs for March is 192 cm (since 1965/66).

Part 6 – Jasper to Nakusp DAY 9: Yet another glorious sunny day. Today we start our drive to Vancouver. Our plan is to reach Nakusp for an overnight. We left Jasper at about 7:30am and drove back down the Icefields Parkway (IP) to the TCH, turning west towards Revelstoke. One never gets tired of driving along the IP, as each time it looks a little different, depending on the weather and the angle of the sun. It is always recommended to backtrack on the IP for this reason – especially if...More

We had to hike the last km to the top because of snow. So worth it! Even though it was sunny/cloudy the views were good but the Forrest was magical. Also enjoyed the viewpoints and a couple walks
