P - L - KVR Route - with descent back to Penticton

A cycling route starting in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.

Overview

About this route

5

We start at the Myra Canyon parking lot after a shuttle ride up to Kelowna. The first 10 km trace the contours of Myra Canyon and cross 18 trestles.  The next 10 km then skirt the boundary of Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park and head for the last of the big trestles. It's another 15 km (great views but this is an active logging road so expect some washboards) as we head back to Chute Lake (35 km) for lunch and a slice of homemade apple pie.  Then, if you're up for it, a long but incredibly scenic descent back to Penticton. There is an "route edit" option here. We can ferry you to the far north part of the second switch back (at the 55 km mark) and you can do the last part of the ride from here. This eliminates about 20 km of riding but still lets you ride back into Naramata through the incredibly scenic "Little Tunnel". We either wrap up above Naramata or right in Penticton.
