It's past the middle of July and I'm finally posting. We took a wee trip to the west and spent a bit of time on the KVR - the Kettle Valley Rail Trails. It began with a bike ride from Coalmont towards Princeton which was a very scenic bit of territory. I'd highly recommend it. We also biked, later in the day, from Princeton toward Coalmont so pretty much covered that section of trail. We had planned a bit of a bike ride north of Otter Lake but the provincial campground was full and we ended up biking along Otter Lake and a bit north of it. Not the nicest trail in terms of a busy lake in summer. Also the dirt bikes and ATVs frequent the trail. Here's Dave at the bridge where we turned around north of Princeton.
Why this title? The next day I did a bike from a place on the map called Jura downhill towards Princeton. It was a very fine ride, all downhill, through farming country with good views of the Similkameen Valley and some rocky peaks in the Cascades. The best part was the wild flowers, however, which speaks for the title. My picture didn't really work out that well. Take this trail in the early part of May and you'll enjoy balsalm root blossoming all over the hillsides.
