This tour incorporates the classic Kettle Valley line with overnights at McCulloch Lake, Chute Lake, West Summerland, Osprey Lake and Princeton. We’ll average 55 km (34 miles) per day with highlights to include Myra Canyon and wine sampling in the Okanagan region of British Columbia's interior.
*The July tour will support TheBigWild.org to help raise awareness and funding for Canada's wild places. **The August tour will coincide with the 3rd Annual Princeton Traditional Music Festival, and promises to be a festive trip!
