Flowdown Trail Description
Primarily used as a mountain bike trail, the Flowdown Trail is a great hiking route south of Revelstoke that will allow you to explore the amazing trail system within the Mount MacPherson Cross Country Trails Recreation Site. Due to the traffic of passing mountain bikes and hikers, you should always remain aware of your surroundings while on this trail and allow others to pass freely by. The route climbs uphill through the dense forest and reveals some scenic views of Mount Mackenzie and Mount Cartier in the distance during the brief moments when the tree cover dissipates. Large moss-covered boulders, dirt paths, and tall trees characterize the majority of this trail as you wind along the lower slopes of the mountain. This trail is a great option if you are looking for a dense network of routes close to the city.
