May - October
Hiking.
Hiking in Mount Revelstoke National Park takes you through our inland temperate rainforest up into the sub-alpine and alpine terrain. View old-growth forests, meadows of wildflowers, and alpine lakes.
Spring (early May - late June)
Offers the best hiking at lower elevations when our higher-elevation trails are snowbound. Check out the Giant Cedars Boardwalk, Inspiration Woods trail, or the Soren Sorensen Loops.
Summer (early July - mid-September)
Offers unreal alpine hiking. Most trails in Mt Revelstoke's summit area and backcountry are snow-free, allowing access to wildflower meadows and alpine lakes.
Fall (mid-September - early October)
Offers shorter days and cooler temperatures, summit trails might still be available but it is dependent on snow.

Sightseeing.
Drive the Meadows In The Sky Parkway, a 26km road that leads you to the summit of Mount Revelstoke National Park. There are six viewpoints to stop at on the way up with short hikes, picnic areas, and sightseeing of the Columbia valley.
Driving up the Parkway is only accessible when the road is free of snow approximately between May - October.
RV's longer than 7.9 meters (26ft) and towed trailers/vehicles are restricted from going up the Parkway due to tight switchbacks and limited parking at the summit.
