Description

Added by Shawn Grenninger

The Giant Cedars Boardwalk is a great spot to stop along the Trans Canada Highway #1 and enjoy a short boardwalk trail through giant Cedars, some over 500 years old.

The trail has some steps, but several benches along the way making it great for anyone. It's like a stroll through a forest in another world.

The area does require a National Parks Pass. Check Parks Canada for closure. It does close seasonally and was recently (2022) partially closed due to boardwalk damage.

Fees

There is a fee to enter Mount Revelstoke National Park. Learn more here.

Seasonal Closures

The boardwalk typically closes in early October through the long weekend in May. You can get more updates on the schedule by visiting the Parks Canada website.

Temporary Closure

The Giant Cedars boardwalk is temporarily closed for boardwalk repairs until the end of 2022.

Backcountry Ski in Rogers Pass

What to Know Rogers Pass is known for it's avalanches. The whole pass stretches for quite some distance and due to the steepness is carefully monitored by the Glacier National Park Safety team. They work with the Canadian...

Camp at Hermit Meadows

The trail head is located between the Rogers Pass Discovery Center and the Tupper. It's a good idea to head into the Discovery Center first and book the campsites as they do require pre-booking to use, and the fines can be steep. Campfires are banned at this campsite as it is a fragile alpine ecosystem, so if you are hoping for a fire I would recommend staying in the valley. The trail starts o...
