Notes:    It’s downhill all the way to the KVR’s rockstar highlight: the Myra Canyon Trestles. Entering this BC Provincial Park and National Historic Site, the gravel trail enters a 12-kilometre one-way stretch across 18 wooden trestles, and through two rock tunnels. The views of the valley and mountains are extraordinary, along with the fact that volunteers rebuilt several trestles after a devastating wildfire in 2003. Some trestles are longer and higher than others, but all provide a thrilling crossing. Day visitors to the park can rent bikes at the trailhead for an out-and-back ride.
