Where to go.
Before the snow melts in the alpine, there are still plenty of places to hike in the valley. Revelstoke is located in the world’s only inland temperate rainforest and our low-elevation trails offer the perfect forest bathing opportunity. Be prepared to encounter a little bit of mud and rain for an authentic rainforest experience. Please stick to the trails to avoid erosion and trail widening.
Inspiration Woods Trail.
2.5 km round trip | Easy | Pets allowed on leash
The aptly named Inspiration Woods trail is located in Mount Revelstoke National Park. Explore forests of cedar, hemlock, Douglas fir, and western white pine and be inspired by the varying shades of lush green. The trail ends in a loop, so turn around on the loop and head back to the trail’s start. Check the status of the trail before heading out!

Mount Cartier Lookout.
4.4 round trip | Intermediate | Pets allowed off-leash if under control
Benefitting from its south-facing aspect, the Mount Cartier Lookout trail is one of the first hiking trails to melt out in the spring. It climbs approximately 220 meters from the valley bottom and ends in a beautiful viewpoint over Upper Arrow Lake and the Columbia River.

Foreplay & Sex on the Beach.
3km each way | Intermediate (for hiking, challenging for mountain biking!) | Pets allowed off-leash if under control
These saucily named pair of mountain biking trails are a perfect combination for a trail run or hiking adventure. Drop down on Foreplay towards the Columbia River, being sure to stop at the viewpoints towards Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Climb back up towards the Begbie Falls Road and loop back towards the parking area. For some extra distance, climb Yew R Here and drop into Quarry.

Begbie Falls.
2.5km each way | Intermediate | Pets allowed off leash if under control
This trail follows a gorgeous creek through the rainforest, ultimately offering a view of Begbie Falls. The waterfall is at its best in the spring when it is at its peak flow. There are two options for hiking this trail: start at Highway 23 South for a longer hike with varied views, or park at the Begbie Falls Recreation Site for a quick jaunt.
