The area is best described in the book, Revelstoke History and Heritage by Rudy Nobbs.

“Revelstoke, gem of the Columbia River, is situated on the east bank of the Columbia River at the point where that might river is joined by its tributary, the Illecillewaet. To the east, the Illecillewaet Valley and Rogers Pass cleave a route through the Selkirk Range. Across the river to the west, Eagle Pass leads through the Monashee Range to Shuswap country. To the south, majestic, glacier- capped Mt. Begbie stands guard over town, while on our northern boundary is Mt. Revelstoke National Park. The setting is one of unrivalled beauty.”
