A roller coaster in B.C. that gives you the most stunning views of the mountains is opening this month.

The 1.4-kilometre-long mountain coaster takes you on a wild ride through a beautiful forest at Revelstoke Mountain and it's a fun activity to add to your things-to-do list this spring and summer.

The Pipe Mountain Coaster is set to reopen at Revelstoke Mountain Resort on May 31 and run until September 30.

"This exhilarating ride is like nothing you've ever experienced before, with hairpin turns, steep drops, and heart-pumping speeds.," the resort website said.

There are two tracks to choose from that allow you to travel up to 42 kilometres per hour.

However, how fast or slow you go is completely up to you as you can control your speed.

Since you can opt for how fast you want to go, kids can also enjoy a ride on the coaster.

The resort website says Coaster #2 will be open from May 31 until June 21 and both tracks will be open as of June 22.

The schedule is weather dependent so keep in mind that it could change.

If you're planning a trip to Revelstoke Mountain, you can reserve your ticket for the coaster ahead of time on the website.

Once you're done with the ride, there are other fun activities at the resort, including hiking, swimming and mountain bike trails you can explore.

So if you're looking for a fun road trip to take from Vancouver this spring or summer, Revelstoke Mountain is worth travelling to!
