Self guided bike trip on the Kettle Valley Railway

Cycle the famous Kettle Valley Railway on this self-guided bike trip in the Okanagan region of British Columbia. KVR (Kettle Valley Railway) is an abandoned railway bed that winds through south central British Columbia. It was originally built in the early 1900's but the ribbons of steel that made up the Kettle Valley Railway are gone. All that is left are 16 km (9.9 mi.) of track, the odd station house and out buildings, a few relics and the history. As a result, these abandoned railway corridors hold unparalleled opportunities as recreational trails. This corridor is one of the most dynamic routes in Canada, with some truly impressive scenery and spectacular views. As a railway line, its steepest grade is 2%! This makes for an easy bicycle ride or hike, especially downhill.
