Big Eddy Bluff Trail
About Big Eddy Bluffs, Revelstoke, British Columbia
The Big Eddy Bluffs is a relatively unknown trail that provides hikers with splendid panoramic views of the small mountain village of Revelstoke, British Columbia. It also has great views of the mighty Columbia River and shows off the area’s dramatic mountain peaks. From the top of the bluffs, you will get a clear shot of the river’s beautiful blue water as well as the large elbow in the river known as an “eddy”.
The trail itself is located in the aptly named riverside community of Big Eddy, which is just across the bridge from the larger town of Revelstoke. The area is known for its plethora of outdoor activities and has plenty of great hikes but the Big Eddy Bluffs Trail is a nice hike that provides a big reward for little effort. It takes about 1-1.5 hours uphill and will definitely get your heart beating, that being said it is a pretty easy hike and is great for the whole family.
