Craigellachie to the Enchanted Forest: 14.6 km or 10 mins. 442 km or 5 hours 30 mins remaining to Calgary.<\/em><\/p>\n

Almost halfway between Vancouver and Calgary is one of the best kid-friendly rest stops on the TransCanada (close to Revelstoke). It’s located in the Monashee Mountains, nestled amidst trees that seem to go up forever: the Enchanted Forest<\/a> (for younger kids) and the SkyTrek Adventure Park<\/a> (for older children).<\/p>\n

The Enchanted Forest has been on our list of places to visit for a couple of years and we were pleased to discover that it is much larger than anticipated. Opened in the 1960s, there are lots of little houses to explore, a castle to climb, plenty of fairytale characters to discover behind trees, in ponds, and other surprising places.<\/p>\n

The site boasts B.C.’s tallest treehouse — a fifty-foot high stair climb that gives your legs a bit of exercise before it’s time to head back to your vehicle and continue to drive.<\/p>\n
