Mount Revelstoke National Park of Canada! I believe hiking to Miller and Eva Lakes are the two…read moreprimary focal points for experiencing this beautiful, yet under the radar park. To arrive at them, you must drive the Meadows in the Sky road about 26 kilometers or 16 miles up to the summit area parking lot. After you exit your car... - Hike 5.5 kilometers or 3.5 miles to reach Miller Lake. - Then hike another 8/10th's of a kilometer or 1/2 mile to get to Eva Lake. Either way, the two lakes pair perfectly together. You can't go to one and not visit the other, lol. Along the way on the trail, it's not really elevated. You mostly descend down a dirt pathway into an alpine bowl of trees and shrubberies within the forest. It's a pleasant setting among nature. And it wasn't hot or cold along the way when I hiked in late June. The conditions were perfect. Miller Lake and Eva Lake are both similar in that they offer some of the most untouched, undisturbed surroundings you can encounter, anywhere! The reflections in the waters are pristine, symmetrical, masterpiece works of art!! Here were some of the differences between the two lakes... According to what I noticed, you can't walk around Miller Lake. There's a giant boulder you can stand upon and get 360 views. Basically, there's not much maneuverability to capture that ideal photo moment. Whereas at Eva Lake, you walk around the entire lake as it's bigger and offers more of a playful area in nature to enjoy the scenic sights. Eva Lake is more open in terms of landscape. There are panoramic vista point views of the mountains in the background as you stroll the perimeter of the lake. So...Eva Lake gives you the best of both worlds. Miller Lake sort of sits in an enclosed lower bowl tier and when I stopped by, the sun was partially hidden by the forest growth and hindered some sensational picture instances. At Eva Lake, there were benches afforded to hikers to sit down on. Also, visitors were swimming in Eva Lake as well. In total, with hiking to and from the lakes and spending brief time at each of them and with driving back down Revelstoke Mountain, the entire experience took 7 hours. Btw, back at the trailhead for Miller and Eva Lakes, you have Fire Lookout House which is a unique landmark worthy of exploring for a little. Fire House Lookout appeared to be a popular destination among visitors. Right next to Fire Lookout House is Heather Lake...another charming lake with some green coloring to it and perfect reflections of alpine trees glistening off the waters. Both Fire Lookout and Heather Lake are within the heart of Mount Revelstoke activity so you're not really going out of your way to see more sights after the moderately difficult Miller and Eva Lakes Trail. Lastly, for those with a real sense of adventure, next to Miller and Eva Lakes is a continuous pathway for 4 more kilometers or 2.5 miles to Jade Lakes, but I skipped it so I don't know how it appeared. If I had an assumption, I'd say Jade Lakes would be worthwhile as well. Just thinking off my head at this moment, Jade Lakes may have snow covering on the trail year round. This is my impromptu thought, but I'd inquire with park rangers before trekking to Jade Lakes and setting off for the day. Mount Revelstoke National Park! No one has talked about it, but if you're a parks fan and lover of nature...I would certainly suggest paying a visit here and you'll be rewarded with quality time spent in the great outdoors.

But before talking about the waterfall, I must warn about the dirt/gravel road it takes to arrive here... After making a left hand turn off Highway 23, it's a 2 kilometer drive on a very bumpy and rugged road. For anyone with a compact/midsize car (or without 4x4 vehicle), I'd suggest slowly riding the break to focus on avoiding big potholes and possibly damaging your tires. I didn't head caution and learned that lesson the hard way a few days later. Once at the end of the road, there's a sign stating..."Begbie Falls Recreation Site, British Columbia". But...the trailhead for the actual falls is along an unmarked pathway opposite from the actual sign. This confused me as I began hiking and not making progress, I turned around and had to restart. Things can be tricky as there are multiple options of starting points. The hike to the falls is about 1 mile each way with the trail descending almost 800 feet lower into the lower bowl of the forest. I'd rate it as moderately easy. Begbie Falls is a 40 foot waterfall divided into two separate waterfalls rushing down next to each other. You'd think that two waterfalls within one setting can be photogenic, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. The viewpoint was okay. The branches and natural forest growth over time partially obstructed views of the falls. I was trying to discover an elevated observation point to better look down upon the falls, but never found anything. Also, I did look for a clearance to get around past the viewpoint area, but it just wasn't possible. So overall, the pictures weren't as special as I had anticipated them to be. I stopped by around 6:30pm over the summertime and the dense forest obstructed a lot of the day's remaining sunlight casting Begbie Falls from a dark perspective. I believe visiting in the middle of the day would provide more quality moments among nature. After grabbing a few photos of the falls, I was motivated to return to the trailhead and start driving back over that dreaded rough dirt road. Lol, it was sort of the only thing left on my mind at that point. Fast forward months later and researching this Begbie Falls Recreation Site, there is more offered here than just hiking to the waterfall... It's a campground as well. Here are some details... - $15 per night (Canadian) - 26 sites - Vault toilets only - Open seasonally May 1 - Sep 30 Finally, if you're looking for longer hiking activities, Mount Begbie Summit (10 miles - difficult), Hemlock Grove Look (4.5 miles - moderate), can be better challenges, according to alltrails.com. Overall, Begbie Falls is good for recreational day use and or simply seeing the waterfall for a brief hour or two. For those folks looking to explore more waterfalls around the area, Sutherland Falls and Moses Falls can be better visits.

Kids are safety harnessed in with helmet and basically tight roping a big circle... with the exception of green caterpillar structure which is a crawl through. The smaller guided course is in need of a zip line structure/feature. The jungle gym is unguided and does have a zip line feature which is the saving grace of the two children sections. My daughter liked the jungle gym more while the other two liked the guided course. The teen/adult climbing area was pretty impressive. If you're expecting to just zip line from one tree to the next this is not it. The staff from the ground basically coaches you from one section to the next. The guides are really good at what they do.

An obstacle course amongst the trees connected with safety wires where the child can climb, jump, and move from tree to tree. A similar challenge course for larger children and adults higher off the ground amongst the trees includes the blinds and challenge obstacles. Starting from a novice level going to a much more difficult challenge, with the ability to leave the course at various stages. Some of the obstacles are rope bridges, ladders, zip lines and other obstacles. Safety is the of the upmost importance and prior to going on the adult obstacle course we were given a workup under the supervision of staff complete with a safety briefing. I felt very confident and safe. The children's obstacle course was also very safe with our child spending a good amount of time on the obstacle. There is a gift shop as well as a food truck on location.

This time, I was well prepared for a fantastic day of hiking and exploring. Lets get to it! Glacier NP is located off of TransCanada Highway 1...58 kilometers or 36 miles northwest of Golden, British Columbia. You need to have a Canada Parks Pass for admission. It's $10 per person per day or I purchased a yearly pass for $72 which includes entrances to Banff and Jasper Parks as well (this is definitely the best route to go). The nearest towns to Glacier NP are Golden and Revelstoke and I recommend you purchase sandwiches and snacks ahead of time at the grocery stores or otherwise you won't have food for your hikes. There's not many tourists visiting this park. It's very under the radar. There were some hikers on the trails but you mostly have nothing but time and space to appreciate the great outdoors. Many people think of Glacier NP in Montana in the United States (which is one of the best that the USA has to offer) as the one and only Glacier Park... But if you're leaving the Banff and Lake Louise area of the Canadian Rockies and heading west and south down to Vancouver, you'll run smack straight into this stunningly beautiful park. Here's the primary differences between the USA Park and here in British Columbia... - This Canadian Park is a hiking park. That's all that is offered. If you want to get out and see the sights of nature, you have to earn it by hiking. It's not like driving the famous "Going to the Sun Road" in Montana where there'll be multiple stops along the way to capture magnificent overlooks of some of the most glorious sceneries in America. So...here at Glacier NP of Canada, it's like a blue collar, no frills park. There's a Visitor Center that's open 9am - 5pm daily and it's here where I met with a ranger and they suggested day hikes to get the best experience out of the park. The first hike is GREAT GLACIER TRAIL - it's certainly one of the more popular hikes because of the scenery at the end of the trail. You'll be afforded 2 different terrific perspectives of snowcapped peaks and mountains in one grand setting. Great Glacier Trail is 4.6 kilometers or 2.85 miles each way with moderately strenuous elevation. It begins about 4 kilometers down the road from the Rogers Visitor Center. Be on the lookout for the Illecillewaet Parking Lot (yes I swear I spelled that correctly) and then you'll discover the trailhead. Also good about this Great Glacier Trail is that the next hike I was taking for the afternoon to MARION LAKE started from the same vicinity. MARION LAKE - 2.1 kilometers or 1.3 miles each way but it's all uphill with constant switchbacks. I'd classify it as pretty strenuous and is part of the bigger - Abbott Ridge Trail. When arriving at the lake, I thought my eyes had deceived me, lol. But it had to be one of the most pristine, symmetrical lakes I have witnessed anywhere. And an added bonus is situated just 1/4 of a mile walk past Marion Lake, you'll discover a rewarding lookout capturing the rugged mountains and TransCanada Highway 1 together in the distance. It's like one of these penultimate instances at Glacier NP that takes your breathe away. In total, navigating along 2 day hikes, being immersed in nature and having no worries is the reason I returned to Glacier NP of Canada. That indescribable feeling of pushing yourself to conquer difficult hiking trails cannot be duplicated. The end results are worth it. It's what keeps my candle burning brightly. Finally, 47 kilometers or 29 miles southwest of here sits Mount Revelstoke National Park. It's just as fun as Glacier NP and together you get to check 2 Canadian National Parks off your To-Do List.
