Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks were the fifth-busiest national parks in Canada in 2025-26 and the second-busiest in British Columbia, behind Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.¹ They drew far fewer visitors than Banff and Jasper, the big Rocky Mountain parks in neighboring Alberta. Together, they accounted for about one in four (24.5%) of the 3.41 million visits to British Columbia's national parks.

Their recovery has been slower than most. Visitor numbers are up 4.2%³ on pre-pandemic 2019-20, against 10.6% for Banff, 8.9% for Pacific Rim and 6.1% for Yoho. Of the 10 busiest national parks, only Jasper is still below its 2019-20 level, down 2.9%.

Rogers Pass National Historic Site, the cultural heart of Glacier National Park¹², had 575,259 visitors¹ in 2025-26, almost level with the 576,311² of 2024-25. Visitation has been above the pre-pandemic level of 543,552³ (2019-20) since 2024-25, after falling to 436,030⁴ in 2020-21.

Parks Canada reports the historic site as a separate line in its attendance figures¹.

The Rogers Pass Centre is undergoing major rehabilitation, so its exhibits and theater are closed and other services are reduced during construction.¹¹ Summit Station, right next to the center, is the temporary visitor hub for park information and Park Pass sales.
