Mount Revelstoke
National Park

Mount Revelstoke National Park is
teeming with trails that run through
the forest. The level of diffi culty varies;

or lead to the tops of mountains, afford-
ing splendid panoramic views.

Glacier National Park

scape in Glacier National Park, where
avalanches are common in winter. A
few kilometres past the park's western
extrance is the Hemlock Grove Board-
walk , a 600m-long wooden
walkway that crosses a stand of western
hemlock trees.
