There is something very special about the mountains; hiking, alpine rock-climbing or mountaineering on wild glaciers to a snow and ice covered peak. The many perspectives the high alpine has to offer, the always changing terrain which gives us the most incredible playground, an outstanding summit reaching high into the sky in the middle of a "sea of peaks" or wandering along a nature trail in the high alpine forests. Still there is much more to it. It is the way we absorb the mountains, where each day is better than the last. It's the way we find our freedom and for that short time we have a hard time believing that there is also another life - somewhere. Both Mount Revelstoke & Glacier National Parks offer a huge variety of hiking and climbing options, including the "Meadows in the Sky Parkway" in Mount Revelstoke National Park. Check out information on other specific areas there as well. Imagine being whisked away by helicopter to a high alpine summit to spend the day hiking or climbing in incredible, unspoiled mountain wilderness. Revelstoke has several companies providing these types of services. Hiking & Mountain Biking Trail Maps are now available at the Revelstoke Info Centres        204 Campbell Ave & 111 MacKenzie Ave (summer)      Ph. 837-5345 or 1-800-487-1493
