Kettle Valley Railway Mountain Bike Tour
The Kettle Valley Railway is an abandoned rail bed which is now a bike trail that traverses the Okanagan area of Southern British Columbia. Enjoy great camping sites and no vehicle traffic to contend with. The many trestles and tunnels on the KVR are a dramatic reminder of an era gone by, when railways tied a young country together across vast tracts of wilderness. Today, restored and upgraded for safety, these impressive structures provide for some exciting riding
. This is a unique adventure your students will remember for years!
