The fifth stage starts in Revelstoke and is immediately treated to a wonderful road with hairpin bends. We take the Meadows in the Sky Parkway (RP2), this road is in the Mount Revelstoke National Park and is 26 kilometers uphill with several hairpin bends to the summit of 1935 meters. The road runs through forests of cedar and hemlock, spruce and spruce to the famous sub-alpine wildflower meadows of Mount Revelstoke National Park. At the top there are a number of viewpoints where you have a beautiful view. The Meadows in the Sky Parkway. Along the way are a number of vantage points with parking where you can stop to enjoy the view, such as at RP3 and RP4.

We descend the same road again, so enjoy the beautiful winding roads and panoramas again. We turn into the TCH with the Revelstoke National Park on the left and the Illecillewaet River on the right. Along the route are a number of sights and a number of Boardwalks, wooden hiking trails through the National Park. So for lovers of walking through nature, a number are included as a route point;

RP6 Skunk Cabbage Boardwalk Trail is a 1.2 km loop course that has a river and is good for all levels. The path is mainly used for hiking, walking, nature trips and bird watching and is best used from June to October.

RP7 Giant Cedars Boardwalk a 0.5 kilometer walkway through old cedar and hemlock woods, on the east side of Mount Revelstoke National Park. It is generally busier than the Hemlock Grove Trail, perhaps because the trees along this promenade seem nicer.

RP10 Hemlock Grove Boardwalk is a 0.5 kilometer long boardwalk through old green cedar and hemlock forest, on the west side of Glacier National Park. This is generally less crowded than the other Boardwalks.

RP11 Rockgarden Trail is a 0.5-kilometer walking route below Cougar Mountain, on the west side of Canada's Glacier National Park. It is a beautiful nature trail with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains on clear days.

RP12 Loop Brook Trail is a 1.6 kilometer long, lightly traded loop trail near Columbia-Shuswap A, British Columbia, Canada, which has a lake and is good for all levels. The path is mainly used for hiking, walking and nature trips.

At RP 13 we arrive at the Rogers Pass, a narrow valley surrounded by a number of mountains. It is formed by the headwaters of the Illecillewaet River in the west and by the Beaver River in the east. Both rivers are tributaries of the Columbia River. More information about the Rogers Pass and the surrounding area is given at Rogers Pass Discovery Center (RP14), a replica of a historic railroad shed. Explore Magazine calls it "the best national park museum in Canada". This recently renovated information center features a theater, exhibitions about avalanches, wildlife and the history of the area. The Discovery Center is the only facility that is open in early spring and winter.

In Golden (RP16) we stop for lunch and to possibly refuel. There are several restaurants here.

At RP19 you can visit the beautiful Natural Bridge in Kicking Horse River, this is an impressive rock formation that has taken on the shape of a bridge completely naturally over the years. Because of the enormous power of the Kicking Horse River this bridge is worn out. It is very special to see how enormously strong water can be and what it can create. Surrounded by mountains and pine trees, you look at your eyes here. You can walk along the banks of the river and stay surprised by the beauty of it.

At RP21 you will find the Kicking Horse Pass National Historic Site. Look in surprise from the vantage points along the Trans-Canada Highway as trains enter the Spiral Tunnels corkscrew and appear on higher or lower points on Rocky Mountain slopes. Read more about the role that Kicking Horse Pass played in connecting Canada from coast to coast in 1885 by rail. Discover Field elk on the river flats, explore the local railroad or organize a tour of the famous fossil banks of Burgess Shale.

After this it is just over 20 kilometers to the end point of this route is at Lake Louise.
