ABOUT THIS REGION  MOTORCYCLE TOURS

Motorcycle tour from the Coast to the Kootenays

The Coast to Kootenays motorcycle tour is designed for the motorcyclist who wants to see a lot of country in a short time. You will average over 375 km per day and in short time are able to see much of what makes British Columbia so special. Your seven-day holiday cuts through the Coast Mountains towards the famous Fraser River. From there you travel to the northeast through Marble Canyon towards Cache Creek. Your first night’s rest is back in the mountains at the Sun Peaks Delta Resort. Bear sightings are common and either a hike or a hot tub after the ride is a popular way to unwind. The second day’s riding winds through the farming communities of the north Okanagan Valley before hooking up with the Salmon River Road, rated by the locals as “motorcycling’s best kept secret.” As you continue east, the peaks once again become jagged and you head for the Selkirk Mountains. Your stay in the historic town of Revelstoke features fantastic vistas and a great chance to mingle with the locals.

Motorcycle tour from the Coast to the Kootenays

From Revelstoke, the road turns south and skirts the banks of Upper Arrow Lake. A short ferry ride over the emerald waters of Lower Arrow Lake offers plenty of photographic opportunities before the twisties of the Monashee Mountain Range. That evening you spend lakeside back in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, with a stopover at the famous Manteo Resort. Plenty of options are available to fill the rest day. Besides riding though the vineyards of the Okanagan, there are many lakeside activities, wine tours or places to simply enjoy some quality time by the pool or the lake. You return to Whistler by following the Thompson River to Lytton and ride the famous Duffey Lake Road, often referred to as “one of the best roads in Canada.” Many guests stay in Whistler for a couple of days either before or after their ride or use the town as a base to explore Vancouver Island or the Sunshine Coast.
