Mount Revelstoke National Park, Revelstoke, British Columbia
Mount Revelstoke stands on the west side to the Rocky
Mountains and is where you can find the world's only inland temperate
rainforest. Here you will see some of the oldest natural environments in the
world.
Mount Revelstoke has three areas in its park that are named
after their elevation: Rainforest, Snowforest, and No Forest. As you travel
higher through the park, any rain that might be falling turns to snow.
The spectacular sight of ancient forests below from the
highest point of the park is amazing to behold. Another wonderful sight are the
giant cedar trees on the Giant Cedars Nature Trail, a half-kilometer path that
