Surrounded by natural beauty, Revelstoke is located in the BC Rockies near Mount Revelstoke National Park and Glacier National Park, and has become a year-round outdoor playground. Heli-hiking, white-water rafting, camping and other summer activities draw many visitors to this alpine town. In the winter, over 20 metres of annual snowfall beckons snowmobile and alpine skiing enthusiasts. The clean, crisp air and fluffy, untouched powder provides the perfect backdrop and the vastness of the surrounding area allows Heli and Cat skiing to open up kilometres of untracked snow to skiers and snowboarders alike. The Canadian Pacific Railway was completed outside of Revelstoke in 1885, and The Last Spike signifies that historic unifying of Canada. Revelstoke's pioneer heritage is also evident with a visit to the Three Valley Gap Ghost Town. Located alongside the Trans-Canada Highway, this attraction allows visitors to glimpse back in time and tour a formerly abandoned railway town.
