Minnesota to Revestoke BC

[bim900]

I am heading to revelstoke and was wondering what the best rout to get there was from Minnesota. Is it better to stay in the states as long as you can because google maps has me going up through minot ND into canada. Had one guy tell me to go all the way to spokan WA and then go north any input would be greatly appreciated

Depends if you are concerned with fuel prices much and what part of mn you are leaving from. I have been to revy 5 times from the St. Cloud area and it is the best 5 trips I have been on in my life. We went thru Montana twice and straight to Winnipeg twice taking 1 straight a cross the the continent. We had better luck time wise going thru Calgary. More major roads mean better conditions and more opportunities for fuel stops. My advice: make sure to take at least 5 gallons of diesel with you for emergencies and unless things have changed do not under any circumstances stay at the glacier house. Pm me if you have any other questions or for further info and good luck. It is an experience starting from when you pull out of the driveway.

revvy questions

thinking about a trip to revy,whats up with glacier house? are there parking areas where you can park an rv and set up shop,last year we went to colorado and they had parking areas on top of mountain you could park trailers and rvs and camp right there and ride....any info would be great,thanks.....jon

It has been great here and snowing right now. Glacier house has new owners, way better, no worries there. Lots of places for an RV around, very close to riding areas. I would do a round trip, don't travel back same way. Either way, have a great trip.

Can you ride right out of the parking lot? Is there gasoline available close by to these parking lots? and what are the best riding areas for intermediate to expert tree riding?

 

[revyg]

Yes to all your questions. That is one thing that makes Revy so great, everything is 5 minutes from the base of two great mountains. Downtown Revy has everything you will need and if you are self contained you can stay in the parking lot. Boulder and Frisby are your best bet for all types of riding, including trees.

Revy slediing trip.

Depending on how much time you have. There is alot of good sledding area's to check out in B.C. Even around Sicamous there's some good area's to check out. Owls head, blue lake, Quest, Eagle pass, Hunters range. Another area that should be on your to see list is the pemberton ice fields. There is a few different ways to get into the ice fields between Squamish and Pemberton, but that is another reason to come back to B.C.
