Picturesque beauty, defined by a rugged Mountain scape, flowing river, and a small lake to swim in with the locals on hot summers daysummer days. Hiking in the national park of Revelstoke is recommendable, tooa great way to spend a day. There are easy and difficult trails. Take the a car up there (. With many curves). If you, it're camping in town, ll be aware that there are numerous black bears that roam the town at night, so stash your food away from your campa fun trip back down. A '''highly recommendable destination''' for any traveler.
== Hitching out ==
=== Highway 1 ===
On the highway going West there is a bridge. The area in between that bridge and the Hwy 23 (south) intersection in front of it has an unusually wide shoulder on both sides and is in full view of drivers going either way. Plus, the intersection slows potential traffic down considerably. This is an ideal spot for hitchhikers going both directions.
'''Note: ''' An other alternative for Eastbound travelers is to walk, east from the gas station up the service road to the Hwy 1, and Hwy 23 (North) intersection. From that intersection walk an other 500m, and there will be a nice pull out for cars to stop. The distance to walk from that gas station, will be the same in each direction.
=== Highway 23 (South) ===
== Accommodation and Sleep ==
There is a really great backpackers hostel in the city that is packed full of international skiers and snowboarders during the winter season. The area is heavily wooded. '''Be aware''' that there are numerous black bears that roam the town at night, so stash your food away from your camp.
