Locals in this Kootenay city are entrepreneurial in spirit, passionate about the arts, and amped about outdoor play. (They take their coffee seriously, too.) Nelson is truly a four-season destination, and fall promises leafy landscapes worthy of exploration, including an up-close look at more than 350 Victorian-era heritage buildings.

Revelstoke is a small town with big charm. Set in the Selkirk Mountains, “Revy” combines history and culture with outdoor adventure. While it’s known for winter sports at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, fall is no less impressive, thanks to excellent mountain biking and hiking, and equally tempting après adventures.

Take in a seasonal palette of reds, golds, oranges, and yellows in your favourite woolly sweater, or opt for more soothing pursuits in this mountainous playground.

This lake is one of Revelstoke’s best-kept secrets, and on-the-water adventures are no less appealing in fall.
