Driving Notes: Edmonton to Revelstoke
The direct route from Edmonton follows Highway 16 west (Yellowhead Highway) to the junction with Highway 5 south, continuing to Kamloops and then east on Highway 1 to Revelstoke. Alternatively, route through Jasper and take Highway 1 via Golden.
Seasonal Considerations
In winter, Highway 16 is well-maintained but can see cold snaps and icy conditions on the prairies. The mountain sections are managed but require winter tires (included). Check DriveBC for BC road conditions. In summer, the Jasper detour via the Icefields Parkway is highly recommended if time allows.
- All RevyCar vehicles include 3-peak mountain snowflake rated winter tires (Oct–Apr)
- Check DriveBC for current road conditions before departing
- Allow extra time in winter conditions
