Miller & Eva Lakes - Mount Revelstoke NP of Canada 🇨🇦 🍁 🥾 🏔️

Описание: In my opinion, Miller and Eva Lakes are the two prime highlights for appreciating being at Mount Revelstoke National Park of Canada.

To arrive at them, you must drive the Meadows in the Sky road about 26 kilometers or 16 miles up to the summit area parking lot.
After you exit your car you then hike 5.5 kilometers or 3.5 miles to reach Miller Lake, and then another 8/10th’s of a kilometer or 1/2 mile to get to Eva Lake. Either way, the two lakes fit together. You can’t go to one and not the other.

Along the way on the trail, it’s really not elevated. You mostly descend down the pathway into an alpine bowl of trees and shrubberies within the forest.
It’s a pleasant setting among nature. And it wasn’t hot or cold along the way when I hiked in late June. The conditions were perfect, lol.

Miller Lake and Eva Lake are both similar in that they offer some of the most untouched, undisturbed surroundings you can encounter, anywhere!
The reflections in the waters are pristine, symmetrical masterpiece works of art!

Here were some of the differences between the two lakes…

According to what I noticed, you can’t walk around Miller Lake. There’s a giant boulder you can stand upon and get 360 views. Basically, there’s not much maneuverability to capture that perfect photo moment.

Whereas at Eva Lake, you walk around the entire lake as it’s bigger and offers more area to play around in nature and enjoy the scenic sights.
Eva Lake is also more open in terms of landscape. There are panoramic vista point views of the mountains in the background as you stroll around the lake.
So…Eva Lake gives you the best of both worlds.
Miller Lake sort of sits in an enclosed lower bowl tier and when I stopped by, the sun was hidden by the growth of the forest and sort of hindered some magical picture instances.

I ate my lunch at Eva Lake because of the greater land mass and they offered benches for hikers to sit down on. Also, visitors were swimming in Eva Lake as well.

In total, with hiking to and from the lakes and spending brief time at each of them, and then with driving back down Revelstoke Mountain, the entire experience took 7 hours.

Btw, back at the trailhead for Miller and Eva Lakes, you have Fire Lookout House which is worthy of exploring for a little and….right next to Fire Lookout is Heather Lake…another charming lake with some green coloring to it and perfect reflections of alpine trees glistening off the waters.

Both Fire Lookout and Heather Lake are within the heart of everything so you’re really not going out of your way to see more sights after the moderately long Miller and Eva Lakes Trail.

Lastly, for those with a real sense of adventure, next to Miller and Eva Lakes is a continuous pathway for 4 more kilometers to Jade Lakes, but I skipped it so I don’t know how it appeared. But if I had an assumption, I’d say Jade Lakes would be worthwhile as well.

Alright, welp, thanks again for taking a moment to watch this journey to Miller and Eva Lakes in beautiful Mount Revelstoke National Park of Canada.
