Pumpkin Spice Life
What comes to mind when you think of Fall? Crunchy leaves, crisp air, scarves, pumpkin spice lattes...
Well add in epic mountain biking, locally crafted cocktails, incredible fishing, and glacier capped mountains contrasted with bright fall leaves.
This is fall in Revelstoke.
1. EXPERIENCE THE WATERFALLS
A 30 minute drive south of Revelstoke will take you to hidden waterfalls. Spectacular and completely unique, both falls are a must-do when visiting in fall. Discover Begbie Falls and Sutherland Falls for a full day of cascading adventure.
2. GO MOUNTAIN BIKING
The fall is an amazing time for hitting the trails! The temperature is ideal, the bugs are gone and the autumn showers make the dirt primo. Whether you choose a forest trail in the Mount Macpherson Trail Network or an alpine epic, the fall scenery will ensure a breathtaking ride!
3. stroll through downtown
Explore Revelstoke’s historic downtown area and soak in the beautiful fall colours in the surrounding mountains. Cozy up in one of the fantastic coffee shops and get a pumpkin spice latte, or enjoy shopping in the downtown core.
On Saturdays, discover some of BC's best farmers markets. The Revelstoke Farm & Craft Market and Local Food Initiative Market take place along first street. From fruit and veg, to hand-crafted jewelry and locally brewed beers, you don't want to miss these markets.
4. Rev your engines
Fall is prime time for motorized sports. Go on an ATV tour with Great Canadian Tours or rent a dirt bike and hit the track! You'll explore incredible roads, waterfalls, epic view points and more. Bringing your own equipment? Make sure to pay trail fees to the Revy Riders Dirt Bike Club or talk to the Revelstoke ATV Club.
5. SUP Serenity
There is no better way to unwind than to paddle on a SUP on Lake Revelstoke in the fall. You'll be surrounded by glacier capped mountains, misty valleys, and waterfalls whilst being lulled by the gentle ebb and flow of the lake.
6. EXPLORE THE NATIONAL PARKS
Revelstoke neighbours two national parks which are full of activities for all ages & activities levels! Explore Mount Revelstoke National Park with a scenic drive up the Meadows in the Sky Parkway, or a relaxing walk through Inspiration Woods.
Discover all that Glacier National Park has to offer from the picnic area by the Illecillewaet River, to the accessibility-friendly Hemlock Grove boardwalk, to the plethora of alpine hikes such as Balu Pass.

7. wet a line
Fall is for fishing. Without giving away trade secrets, we can say Revelstoke is a great place to fish. There are over 200 rivers, creeks, and streams churning with freshwater fish around Revelstoke, all within 50 km of town. By far the best way to get out fishing is to hire a local guide; we have four fishing guiding businesses that can offer tours to suit your skills and goals.
8. DISCOVER the craft brewing & distillery scene
Each brewery and distillery in Revelstoke share one common theme; their product is a direct result of where they are based. From using ingredients sourced from our backyard to creating products designed to match the vibe of the town, you're bound to be pleasantly surprised.
9. Hit the golf links
The Revelstoke Golf Club is open until Thanksgiving weekend. The club offers 6,537 yards of a par 72 championship-layout, 18-hole course. With exceptionally scenic holes along the Columbia River, the game weaves through natural features unique to this area. Both challenging and relaxing, the Golf Revelstoke experience blends a great course into a beautiful environment.
10. LUNA ARTS FESTIVAL
The LUNA Festival is the perfect antidote to the increasingly dark evenings. On the last weekend of September enjoy the transformation of downtown Revelstoke into a magical arts extravaganza! Not here for it? Check out our thriving art scene at our many galleries and public art displays.

12. Hide from the rain
