Eastern Kettle Valley Railway
538 km point-to-point from Kelowna to Kimberley, BC. Mapped by Guy Stuart
Summary
The entire route is very scenic with many vistas to savour. Total elevation gain is about 5,740 metres, the majority is done on railway and highway grades, with only Gray Creek Pass presenting some sections of hike-a-bike. There are options for re-supply, camping, lodging and meals at regular intervals. Myra Canyon is the high point of the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) and makes for about 150 km of mostly downhill rail trail riding to Midway where the KVR ends and the Columbia and Western (C&W) starts.
