Myra Canyon ~ Kettle Valley Railway KVR

The Myra Canyon is one of the most exciting and scenic bike rides in BC! On this section of the Kettle Valley Railway there are 16 wood trestles, 2 steel bridges, and 2 tunnels. Start from the east entrance at Myra Station and ride west seeing as many of the trestles and tunnels as time and little legs allow! Or keep going …. on to Chute Lake and Wahoo! downhill to Naramata and Penticton!
