Subalpine Guided Wildflower Walks

July 25 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Join a park naturalist on a 1-hour wildflower walk around the summit area of Mount Revelstoke and learn how alpine plants have adapted to live in a cold place covered in meters of snow for half the year. Expect roughly 2.5 kilometres of walking on uneven dirt trails with some steep sections (rated “Easy” by Mount Revelstoke criteria). Meet at Balsam Lake Parking Lot bus shelter. The summit areas of Mt. Revelstoke is is 26km (40-minute drive) away from downtown Revelstoke, and a free shuttle will be offered during the festival. 

What to expect:

2.5 kilometre walk on uneven dirt trails with some steep sections (rated Easy by Mt. Revelstoke criteria).
