  Trail Descriptions

  Bottoms Up

  Intermediate | 2.9km | ~ 1 hr One Way

  Beginning at the south end of the village, Bottoms Up guides hikers to Revelation Lodge through a series of switchbacks, criss-crossing the glades and meadows of the lower mountain. While the trail is an easy grade it does climb, so be prepared!

  Take it Easy

  Intermediate | 2km | ~ 1 hr Loop

  This shorter trail loops from the top of Bottoms Up to partway up the Sunshine ski run, and back down to Revelation Lodge. We recommend hiking the switchbacks up through the forest and taking the ski run back down.

  Boomerang

  

  Beginner | 1.2km | ~ 30 min Loop

  A beginner friendly trail with minimal elevation gain. The trail features a view of the Columbia River, wildflowers, and a waterfall. *Mountain Biking Not Permitted

  Kill the Banker

  

  Advanced | 3.8km | ~ 2 hrs One Way

  This trail mirrors Revelstoke's infamous ski run of the same name, with a tough climb through steep and rocky terrain, crossing under the Gondola line and winding through boulder fields. It can be accessed from the Gondola midstation as a climb or the upper Gondola station as a descent. Either way, be prepared and make sure you have plenty of water.

  The Stoke Climb

  Subpeak Loop

  

  Advanced | 1.8km | ~ 45 min Loop

  Subpeak Loop can be accessed from the end of The Stoke Climb Trail. This technical trail takes you along the spine of Mount Mackenzie and to the subpeak, sitting at 2,300 metres above sea level. This loop will provide stunning 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains and the valley below.

  Greely Trail

  Intermediate | 5.5km | ~ 1.75 hrs One Way

  This is a multi-use trail, please watch for bikers.

  Greely Trail can be accessed via The Stoke Climb Trail off of Cupcake Loop which starts at the upper gondola station. This trail winds through subalpine rainforest and eventually brings you to Greely Lake, nestled beneath the peak of Mount Mackenzie.

• Spectacular mountain and valley views are available on the lower mountain, while the upper mountain hosts mile-high views of glaciated peaks.
