Mount Revelstoke National Park

Mount Revelstoke National Park is located in the southeastern part of British Columbia, Canada.  The park covers an area of 100 square miles (260 sq km). Canada’s Glacier National Park is a neighbor.

The national park is part of the Selkirk Mountains, which is a range that extends from Idaho and eastern Washington of the United States up into the southeastern part of British Columbia.  It is part of the same corridor that aligns with Banff National Park and Yoho National Park.

The park features one of the globe’s few temperate rain forests that are inland.  The old-growth forest includes Western Red Cedar and Western Hemlock. It is hard to find any place that is geographically diverse and naturally pristine wilderness.

Visitors can drive through much of the park and see some of the amazing landscapes the park has to offer.  There are a number of places where you can have impressive views of the Monashee and Selkirk Mountains that make up much of the park.

The forested, subalpine, and alpine ecosystems serve as home to an array of abundant wildlife.  Some of the popular species include black bear, cougar, coyote, fox, grizzly bear, lynx, moose, mountain goat, and wolverine.

This is a place where people come for the day to picnic and take day hikes as a way to engage the clean air and stunning facets of nature that are easily accessible.  The winter months give way to skiing and other winter-related activities.  The park offers breath-taking picturesque winter landscapes that are hard to beat.
