At the heart of Rogers Pass National Historic Site, the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre is a replica of an historic railway snowshed. Explore Magazine calls it "the best national park museum in Canada".

An essential place to start or end your day, this recently-renovated information centre features a theatre, exhibits about avalanches, wildlife and the history of the area.

The Discovery Centre is the only front country facility open during the early spring and winter when campgrounds, trails and day-use areas lie under a two-metre blanket of snow.

Glacier National Park is situated on the Trans-Canada Highway between Yoho and Mount Revelstoke National Parks, a 4-hour drive from Calgary and 6.5-hour drive from Vancouver.

A variety of accommodation is available in Golden, 80 kilometres east of Rogers Pass in the heart of the park, and Revelstoke, 72 kilometres west.

The park is open year-round; valley bottom trails open around late May, while upper-elevation trails are typically snowed-in into early July. Day-use areas start to open in June, and campgrounds typically open in late June. The ski season is November to April.
