Revelstoke's Guide to Fall Activities

A 30-minute drive south of Revelstoke will take you to hidden waterfalls. Spectacular and unique, both falls are a must-do when visiting in fall. Discover Begbie Falls and Sutherland Falls for a full day of cascading adventure.

Pro-tip: In mid-September, Kokanee Salmon spawn in many of our rivers and streams. Begbie and Sutherland Falls are ideal places to see the spawning bright red fish.

Before the snow begins to fly, check alpine trails in Glacier National Park such as Balu Pass or Pearly Rock Glacier trails. Once snow begins, stick to the low-elevation trails which get snow later on in the season. Check out Bear Creek Falls for an epic waterfall hike or Meeting of the Waters for a short walk.

Pro-tip: Check trail conditions before heading to the national parks. Come November, Glacier National Park will switch to a Winter Permit program; hiking trails and parking lots are closed. Visit the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre for more info.

As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, a trip north on Highway 23 or towards the flats on Airport Way on a clear night is so rewarding. The dark skies and absence of light pollution create the perfect stargazing spots. If you're lucky you may even spot the northern lights. Don't forget to bring warm clothes, blankets, and snacks!

Pro-tip: cell service is extremely limited as you head North or South, exercise caution and let someone know where you are going ahead of time.

Before the snow begins to fly, check Mount Revelstoke National Park's scenic drive up the Meadows in the Sky Parkway to the Summit trails. Once snow begins to fly, stick to the rainforest and hike Inspiration Woods, Nels Nelson Ski Jump, or Giant Cedars Boardwalk.

Pro-tip: Check trail conditions before heading to the national parks. Access to the summit depends on the Parkway being open, once snow begins, there is no road clearing.

The Revelstoke Golf Club is open until Thanksgiving weekend. The club offers 6,537 yards of a par 72 championship layout, an 18-hole course, and a driving range. 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.

On Saturdays, discover some of BC's best farmer's 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.
