Mount Revelstoke national park was formed in 1914 and is situated just west of Glacier park and also features a ton o’ hikes. The Snowforest campground is brand new this year and is situated in the hills above the town of Revelstoke.
The new campground is very swish and a short walkable distance from town.
They were just completing three MicrOcubes which are 10 m^2 boxes with lighting, a double bed, gas bbq out front and big windows facing the forest.
Beyond the campground is the Meadows In The Sky parkway which climbs 1800 metres in 26 km with 16 switchbacks (marked at 20 km/hr and you’d best believe it) as well as excellent pavement - a dream on 2 wheels. The bicyclists really, really have to work for their exhilaration on the way down. Here’s view from the top:
