Welcome To Revelstoke – Gateway To The Good Life
Thursday, February 19th, 2004 by GetawayBC.com
Spend more than an afternoon in this pocket-sized city at the confluence of the Columbia and Illecillewaet Rivers and you’ll quickly discover that there is something very special about Revelstoke.
Different visitors may notice different aspects of the Revelstoke mystique. It is, in part, the spectacular scenery of the glacier-capped peaks of the Selkirk Mountains that reach toward the clean blue skies above the Columbia River Valley. It is also the haunting peace and beauty of the rainforests that cloak their slopes.
The city’s wealth of heritage buildings and its tree-lined streets of Victorian and Georgian homes enchant many visitors. But there is nothing quaint about the forward-looking men and women who call Revelstoke home.
This is a city that appreciates the arts – visual, dramatic and musical. With a public art gallery, a winter concert series and a reputation for excellent community theatre during the winter and spring, Revelstoke offers visitors much more than magnificent scenery. Visitors who stroll down to Grizzly Plaza to enjoy the summer evening concerts or who decide to sample the plays and musicals produced by the community theatre group are certain to not only enjoy the entertainment but have an opportunity to mingle and develop friendships with the generous and warm-hearted local residents.
Whatever the season or your reason for visiting Revelstoke, we hope you enjoy your taste of the good life in our mountain home.;
