About Meadows in the Sky Parkway, British Columbia, Canada
Meadows in the Parkway is a winding 26 km road that takes you from the bottom of the valley near Revelstoke, BC all the way up to the summit of Mount Revelstoke National Park where you can start your fun-filled hiking adventure. Start your scenic journey at the park’s bottom entrance and enjoy the stunning views that get better and better the closer you get to the summit. There are a few designated lookouts and viewpoints that have parking lots along with seating areas with benches where you can take in the views of Mount Begbie and the dramatic Monashee Mountain range. Viewpoints include the Revelstoke Lookout, Monsahee Lookout, Columbia Viewpoint, and Panorama Point. The drive also features a short hike that leads to one of the park’s most popular attractions called the Nels Nelson Historic Ski Jump.
Once on top, there are several parking lots to choose from depending on your hiking plans and many different trails of all difficulties. From the Heather Lake parking lot, there are a few worthwhile attractions that are very easy to get to, including two historic fire lookout towers and the North Parapet Lookout. Heather Lake also features the trailhead that leads you to Miller Lake and Eva Lake, which are two stunning aqua-blue bodies of water that have been left over from the last ice age when the glaciers melted.
Overall Meadows in the Sky Parkway is well worth the drive, even if you don’t plan on hiking or you are perhaps disabled then visit this national park for the views alone.
