Drive up to the top of Mount Revelstoke on the Meadows in the Sky Parkway, then take the trail over the hill above, and then choose the Jades Lakes Trail.     Follow the trail as it winds through meadows, forest, slide zones, and wet areas.   At the trail junction, go steeply up to Jade Pass and have lunch.    This will be 9.5km each way.   If you have the time and energy, take the side trips to Eva Lake and Miller Lake.  On my hike to Mt. Revelstoke, I covered 21km, but much of the distance was on a moderate trail.      

At the top of Jade Pass, peaks surround the aerial viewpoint.  Jade Lakes lie below to the east.

The Selkirks stand to the east.   The ragged Clachnaccudain Range towers to the north and the crest peaks of the Monashees lie west and southwest.

Snow still lingered up in the pass in August.  When we came to Jade Pass another year, we were on snow for the final mile to the pass.   This time it was rocky and bare on a hot and sunny day.

 The route back from the pass descended into the subalpine forest, meadows, rock slopes, and past a couple of tumbling streams.

Wildflowers (as advertised) lined the trail.   The display starts in July and lasts until the first frost.  

The drive to the top of the mountain, the long hike to the Pass and the lakes and return makes a long day.   At the end of the day, the sun shone through the wildflower smoke haze as I looked west over the pass into the Monashees.

The best part of Mount Revelstoke is to drive 25km to the top of the mountain.   The whole hike is within subalpine and alpine zones, a special hike on a summer day.
