    Mount Revelstoke National Park

    Mount Revelstoke National Park (est 1914, 259.7 km2) is a place of contrasting landscape, varying from rain forests and lush alpine meadows to barren, rocky ridges and glaciers. The jagged spires of the Selkirk Mountains are the backdrop for this park. Grizzly bear and caribou range throughout, while mountain goats frequent the rocky bluffs. Due to the small size of the park, and extensive clear-cut logging in adjacent lands, the park lacks ecological integrity, and its populations of large mammals, particularly caribou, are threatened. Alpine meadows feature pika, hoary marmot and golden-mantled ground squirrel, often under the gaze of the golden eagle. Between October and June the park is covered in a thick blanket of snow, but in the brief summer, meadows glow with the blossoms of lupine, aster and Indian paintbrush. The Meadows in the Sky Parkway provides road access to lush alpine meadows.
