Revelstoke is actually a city, but prides itself on having "small town charm" and "big mountain adventure."
It's nestled in the interior of B.C., giving you access to some of the most pristine nature there is. We're taking hidden waterfalls, sparkling lakes, wildflower meadows and jagged mountain peaks. The scenery here is breathtaking, and adventure is never far away.
Glacier and Mount Revelstoke National Parks are both nearby and have countless trails winding throughout them, leading to incredible views. It's easy to escape into the wilderness of these parks for quick day trips or weekend camping getaways.
Then you have Lake Revelstoke, which, according to the tourism website, is set above the "Revelstoke Dam on Highway 23 North," and is a go-to in the warmer months.
There you'll find rocky beaches, clear water, and the kind of peacefulness that only really comes with no cell service.
One of the best parts about this place, though? You can go from enjoying that remote wilderness to being in a bustling downtown, all in the same day. It's really an all-season destination thanks to the skiing here, but summer is a special kind of fun in Revelstoke.
Every Saturday, a farmers' market is held downtown, and the streets become bustling with local artisans and farmers.
In July and August, you can catch live music in the Grizzly Plaza, which looks like it's been plucked from the set of Gilmore Girls, it's so charming.
Just walking around downtown is fun, though, checking out the local shops and businesses, and talking in the array of public art. Patios also line the streets of downtown, so you can sit out and enjoy the fun, soaking in the vibe of this quaint spot.
All in all, Revelstoke is brimming with the kind of beauty and charm that summer getaway dreams are made of.
