Day One.
In the morning
Start your day off by grabbing a bite and a coffee at one of Revelstoke’s many cafes. You’re going to need a bit of sustenance before heading out for your day of activities.
Head to Wandering Wheels for a guided mountain bike tour, or if you’re confident that you can navigate a trail system and have your own bike, head out to Mount Macpherson to check out some of Revelstoke’s incredible trails. Flowdown is a locals’ favourite, offering 6 km of fun intermediate singletrack. For those who are newer to the sport, the Stimulus Trail is a great beginner loop through beautiful forest.
In the afternoon
Book a trip with one of our rafting companies and take on the mighty Illecillewaet River. This river is fed by the Illecillewaet Glacier in Glacier National Park, and heads through Mount Revelstoke National Park before meeting the Columbia River in Revelstoke.
Après
Enjoy a beer downtown at Rumpus Brewing Co. or head up to Mount Begbie Brewing for a sampler flight and epic valley views. Wander down Mackenzie Ave, check out Revelstoke’s shops and pick up any gear you need for future adventures. For dinner, grab a pizza at Nico’s Pizzeria or enjoy the back patio at The Village Idiot.

Day Two.
During the day
In Revelstoke, we’re just a stone’s throw away from beautiful Mount Revelstoke National Park. You can drive almost to the top of Mount Revelstoke via the Meadows in the Sky Parkway. You’ll find viewpoints along the way; make sure you stop and take a photo, as these are some of the best views of town.
When you arrive at the top, park up and head out for a hike or trail run to Miller and Eva Lakes (about 7 km one way). These lakes are accessed by a well-established trail that meanders through alpine meadows and Engelmann spruce. If you’re speedy, continue heading to Jade Lakes (9.4 km one way) for even more alpine views.
In the evening
Head to Monashee Spirits for a cocktail, and then have dinner at one of our many great restaurants. Try The Taco Club (don’t skip the margarita), The River City Pub, or for something with a bit of history, check out Old School Eatery.
