Getting There
Revelstoke, in south-eastern B.C., isn’t the easiest place to reach. The best way is to fly into Kelowna, about 120 miles southwest and served by daily nonstop flights from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and Seattle. Calgary is 255 miles to the east. Plan on renting a four-wheel drive. Revelstoke Airport is served weekly by Powder Air (http://www.powderair.com/ target=_blank>powderair.com) and Hawkair (http://hawkair.ca/ target=_blank>hawkair.ca) from Calgary. Don’t forget your passport.
