map showing location of The Enchanted Forest

The Enchanted Forest has various hours depending on the date, so call '1.866.944.9744 before you go.

The Enchanted Forest is a unique attraction situated in one of British Columbia’s beautiful old growth forests in Canada’s Monashee mountains, located midway between Revelstoke and Sicamous on the Trans Canada Highway. Skytrek Adventure Park is at the same location but the two RV Gypsies did not visit it because Karen Duquette wanted to go to the Hot Springs.

Below: When entering The Enchanted Forest, the first area was the adventure area for children. There were over 350 handcrafted figurines in amongst 800 year old cedars. Karen Duquette only took a few pictures in this area.

Below: The tree house where children can climb up, in and around an uniquely crafted tree house set in giant roots, boulders and stumps. It was labeled "British Columbia's tallest, grandest tree house." It rises 50 feet into the forest canopy.

Then it was time for the two RV Gypsies to continue on to the Nature Walk Area

The self-guided Wildland Interpretive Nature Walk is a wonderful 2 kilometer walk through a lush BC forest, with a variety of trees including Fir, Cedar, Hemlock, White Spruce and Cottonwood Trees and a giant 800 year old cedar grove!

Below: Karen Duquette took a selfie with a real camera with a big lens, so she could not see what she was getting in the photo. Lee Duquette was already walking a good distance ahead of her.
