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

Unfortunately, Rain and Fog ruined our Views

We went up Revelstoke on the Meadows in the Sky Parkway. Unfortunately, the weather and fog made visibility practically non-existent. We took the bus to the top and walked around to see the Fire Tower. Most of the wildflowers had already peaked. Definitely stop when...More

Great walks and views from the top

A long drive up with opportunities to stop at viewing areas. We all enjoyed the small hikes (not strenuous) and took in the beautiful views. Great information dotted around each of the trails. And a free shuttle to take you from the parking areas up...More

Go early in the morning

We tackled this road early in the morning to avoid the worst of the traffic and cars and whilst we missed most of the tourists we did have to contend with suicidal cyclists who felt they could use both sides of the road regardless of...More

This is the drive up Mt. Revelstoke

This is a road inside of the National Park. You have to pay to get in. If there are 3 or more, it's cheaper to get the "whole car" rate. Ask for a map. There are a few turnouts on the way up with interpretive...More

Great and would be even better on a clear day

We travelled up hoping to get above the smoke from the wildfires that were about. The climb is long (26 km) and is a steady climb. Took us about 40 minutes. The view from the top would be great on a clear day and even...More

A nice drive but limited car parking

Took our time to climb the parkway road in our car which can take about 30 mins to reach the top. Stopped a few times at various viewpoints to look out down below and see the views of the mountain, forest and surroundings. Really beautiful...More

Bush fires and flies and mosquitoes

Went here although we knew the sights maybe limited due to the bush fires, and our precautions where right. Views almost none, flies and mosquitoes a lot. Although we had prepared ourselves with repellent doesn’t seem to bother them. Made some small walks and quickly...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.
