Other Mountain Biking Tours:

Manning Park: Easy to moderate

The mountain bike trails in Manning Park in summer are cross-country ski  trails in winter and are of varying degrees of difficulty and distance.

There are easy rides for the beginner such as the Lone Duck and Lightning Lake trail and more advanced single-track trails for the intermediate and technical rider. The South Gibson and North Gibson loop trail is very popular.

Windy Joe: Moderate to advanced

The Windy Joe trail is a 7.5-kilometer trail up to Windy Joe   Mountain. Monument 83 is a very challenging 16 km mountain bike ride all the way to the U.S. border. The views of the Pasayten Wilderness and Hozameen mountains are spectacular and make the long climb worthwhile.

Kettle Valley Railway Trail: Easy

Probably the best well-known mountain bike trail around Hope and Sunshine Valley is the Kettle Valley Railway Trail. It is an old abandoned railway bed turned into a hiking and mountain biking route. The Kettle Valley Railroad (KVR) stopped operating in 1989 and the tracks were ripped up in the early 1990’s. The KVR at one time consisted of 477 kilometres of tracks from Midway in the Interior to Hope on the coast. The trail can be accessed at several points along the way. Most riders prefer the downhill ride from the Coquihalla tollbooth to the historic Othello tunnels. These tunnels received certain fame with the filming of the movie First Blood with Sylvester Stallone.
