Your Revelstoke getaway is bound to be fun, energizing, and packed with adventure. If you’re planning a long weekend or three day visit, this itinerary is the perfect blend of Revy’s adventure highlights. Hang on to your hats, this is going to be a jam packed getaway!
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.
All you need for day two
Day Three.
In the morning
At Revelstoke Mountain Resort, hiking, biking, and fantastic views are on the menu. If you’re craving more adrenaline, paraglide from the top of Mount Mackenzie and get the perfect birds eye view over Revelstoke and the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains.
The Play All Day Pass gives you access to the Pipe Mountain Coaster, axe throwing, the aerial adventure park, the gondola, hiking, and disc golf. Don’t miss the Pipe Mountain Coaster, an exhilarating ride on a mountain roller coaster.
In the late afternoon
During the heat of the day, get out on Lake Revelstoke via SUP, canoe, or kayak, all available for rent in town. Lake Revelstoke is quiet and a fantastic place to explore. Duck into inlets and explore small creeks and waterfalls, follow the waterline along to empty beaches and enjoy the serenity of a quiet mountain lake. Lake Revelstoke is beyond cell service range so make sure you have a map downloaded before heading out.
