Myra Canyon British Columbia - If you really want to connect with a place, explore it on a bicycle.
 
Pedalling is much more immersive than driving.
 
It engages all the senses, allowing you to see, hear, and even smell things that are completely missed when you're in a motor vehicle.
 
It's also a great way to exercise and travel in a healthy way, maintaining social distancing, and without harmful emissions.
 
Whether you're an avid cyclist or a recreational rider, Canada offers plenty of places to fulfil your two-wheeled wanderlust.
 
Kettle Valley Rail Trail/Columbia and Western Rail Trail, B.C.
 
The Kettle Valley Rail Trail and the adjacent Columbia and Western Rail Trail extend from Hope to Castlegar in the longest rail trail network in British Columbia.
 
Rail trails are former railway lines that have been converted into recreational pathways.
 
There are almost 650 kilometres of connected pathways to explore, but the Myra Canyon trestles are the undisputed highlight.
 
When you cycle 80 kilometres from Kelowna to Penticton along this trail, you'll cross 18 trestles, pass through two tunnels, and see extraordinary scenery.
 
The KVR, as it is affectionately known, is a beautiful cycling corridor that is unlike any other cycling trail in Canada.
