Mount Revelstoke National Park, National park in Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, Canada.
Description
Mount Revelstoke National Park is a protected area in the Selkirk Mountains with extensive old-growth forests, subalpine meadows, and multiple peaks across 260 square kilometers. The landscape transitions from dense woodland at lower elevations to open alpine terrain as it rises toward the summit.
History
The park was established in 1914 after local residents campaigned to protect this mountainous region. Its creation reflected Canada's growing commitment to preserving natural landscapes during that era.
Culture
The mountain held deep meaning for Indigenous peoples as a hunting and gathering ground, and this heritage continues to shape how people connect with the landscape today.
Practical
A paved road of about 29 kilometers connects the Trans-Canada Highway to the summit, making it accessible to visitors of varying mobility levels. Most areas are best visited during warmer months when snow has melted from the high elevations.
Did you know?
The forest shelters an isolated population of banana slugs, marking the easternmost point of their range in North America. These colorful creatures are normally found in the rainier coastal regions of the west.
