a fascinating drive

The passage up the mountain is marked by the different levels of tree growth and is clearly labelled and shown. There are several overlook points as you go up the Parkway but I would suggest you go all the way to the shuttle at Balsam...More

This is a pretty long drive to the top parking lot and even further to the top on the free shuttle. Along the way the weather can change rapidly. We were at the top parking lot just after a snowfall and the view was socked...More

Such beauty

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

Nice route up with great views

We arrived rather late at Revelstoke (around 3pm) but we decided to drive up to the summit. It’s a beautiful route which takes you past several nice viewpoints. On top of the mountain there’s a car parking after which you can continue on foot or...More

This drive is spectacular, winding up from the valley high into alpine meadows at 6100 feet. There are stops along the way for viewpoints and many hiking trails, all detailed in the information sheet you can get at the Parks Canada booth. Parks Canada has...More

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.

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.

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
