The most beautiful time of the year in the mountains.
The changing of the seasons doesn’t mean the end of the fun! In fact, fall is one of our favourite seasons for adventuring and exploring in Revelstoke. The colourful foliage and mild temperatures make it an ideal time to enjoy everything our area has to offer.
Here are just a few of our favourite ways to enjoy one of the most beautiful season of the year.
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.
stroll through downtown
Explore Revelstoke’s historic downtown area and soak in the beautiful fall colours in the surrounding mountains. Cosey up in one of the fantastic coffee shops, or enjoy shopping in the downtown core. After you’ve explored downtown, head to the Greenbelt trails for views of the Columbia River in all its colourful fall glory.
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 (8:30am - 1pm).
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!
HIT THE HIKING TRAILS
Hiking in the fall might be the best of the year. The stunning colours add extra drama to the already beautiful backdrop of the mountains. Head to Mount Revelstoke National Park or Glacier National Park for fantastic alpine hikes through the autumnal landscape.
see THE NIGHT SKY In all its glory
As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, a trip north on Highway 23 or towards the flats 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!
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.
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!
DISCOVER REVELSTOKE'S HISTORY
Dodge the fall showers and find out more about Revelstoke’s past. Head to the Revelstoke Museum and Archives to discover Revelstoke’s origins and learn about Canada’s most deadly avalanche. Then, check out the Railway Museum to find out how the railroad shaped our town- and to try your hand at driving a train (well, a simulator)! Head to the BC Interior Forestry Museum to see the fascinating collection of forestry machinery and learn about the area’s history in the logging industry. Explore their riverside forest walk and reflect on everything you've learned.
Grab a bite, dine, or unwind
With amazing options of cafes, pubs, food trucks, and boutique-style restaurants, this will be a difficult decision! Fuel up for a full days worth of activities or unwind with some warm local bites. Whether you're looking for a casual bowl of mac n' cheese or a farm-to-table dining experience, we've got the perfect food scene for you. See you downtown!
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, a relaxing walk through Inspiration Woods, or hike to Eva, Miller, & Jade lakes for breathtaking views.
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.
