Best New Trips in the World: Biking Through British Columbia's Myra Canyon

For our annual Adventure Travel issue, we scoured the globe to find the 25 Best New Trips in the World for 2010, complete with a Best Trips photo gallery. Today, we present British Columbia. The world's far corners are now well within reach.

British Columbia: The BC High Line

Anxious to protect its silver and gold stores, Canada created a railway through southern British Columbia in the early 1900s to keep certain stake-claiming international neighbors at bay. The resulting 250-mile-long Kettle Valley Railway crosses three mountain ranges and dozens of canyons—and since ceasing operation in 1972 has been gradually converted into a rail trail. This year one of the most scenic portions, Myra Canyon, was completed. Monashee Adventure Tours’ three-day cycling loop will link Myra’s 18 trestle bridges and two tunnels with the former mining towns of Penticton and Summerland.

Good post on biking 'Myra Canyon.'
Being from British Columbia, our family have enjoyed hikes and biking the Kettle Valley Railway for many years.
Great views and miles and miles of trail.
Definitely worth taking the family and enjoying a day outdoors!
