Mount Revelstoke National Park of Canada

Hours of Operation

The Meadows-in-the-Sky Parkway is open only during the snowfree season. However, in spring, visitors can drive progressively further up the road as the snow melts. When the Mount Revelstoke Summit is snowfree, usually by the third week in July, the Summit Shuttle Bus transports visitors between the parking area at Balsam Lake and the summit area from 10:00 am to 4:20 pm.

The parkway is open and our welcome station kiosk is staffed from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., from mid-June to the August long weekend. In August, the parkway hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. In May and early June, and in September and early October, the parkway hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Please note that the parkway gate is locked at closing time. Visitors should double check with welcome station staff for closing times.

After the welcome kiosk closes at the end of October, visitors seeking information about Mount Revelstoke National Park must visit our office in the City of Revelstoke. This office is open year-round from Monday to Friday, 8:30 till noon and 1 p.m. until 4:30. It is located in the Post Office building at 300 - 3rd Street West in Revelstoke.

The Skunk Cabbage and Giant Cedars Nature Trails, located along the Trans Canada Highway section of Mount Revelstoke National Park, are opened as early in the year as the snowpack allows. Delays in trail openings may occur when bears are present in the area or when snow has caused damage to trail structures. Generally these trails are open by the Victoria Day weekend in May and remain open until the autumn snowfall.
