The Meadows in the Sky Parkway is a 26km paved driving route that travels all the way from Highway 1 through cedar and hemlock forests into the alpine of Mount Revelstoke.
Alongside the way, there is a series of viewing platforms and short hiking trails to explore. The finale of the Parkway is the summit hiking area, which is beautifully carpeted with wildflowers in summer.
For a short loop hike, head to the upper area (1km steadily uphill hike) and take the trail to the historic firetower. Take in the impressive views of the valleys and mountains surrounding Mount Revelstoke. The First Footsteps Trail shares local First Nation culture alongside more beautiful panoramas. Look for tiny pikas (related to the rabbit) in the rocks.
To drive the Meadows in the Sky Parkway, you must have a valid Parks Canada day pass - $22/vehicle with up to 7 people. If you don't already have one, there is an admission booth at the start of the drive.
Please note that dogs are not allowed after the 12km point of the Parkway (Columbia viewpoint).
