Well done, I lived in the area and love it. You mention Hoss at a restaurant in Nakusp , I used to drive a school bus there and he was one of the young students.
That was a great video, thanks for taking the time to do it. That is one of my favorite places to visit. i will add it to my growing list of rail trails to tour.
As I'm not a local at all, that's a lovely compliment from someone who is! Hope I got all my facts right! We love visiting this area. Thanks for watching Mike.
My wife and I rode both those trails in Aug 2022 and we are pleased to report that the cable car crossing at Alamo Siding is up and working well. We had a blast zipping across on it. Arriving at Three Forks, we rode to Sandon on the road and then continued up past Cody on the Carlyle Lodge access road for several kms. On the way back we took the K&S Rail Trail from Sandon to Three Forks. It starts out quite easy but deteriorates as you approach the Payne Bluffs junction until it becomes a mountain bike trail dug into the side of the mountain. It is well maintained and quite rideable (in most places) but definitely demands your full and undivided attention along with intermediate or advanced mountain biking skills. Also the N&S Trail between Hills and Summit lake is a bit overgrown in a few spots but mostly very nice riding. The beaver pond diversion made for easy riding around the flooded part east of Summit Lake and the wet portions along the north side of Summit Lake shown in the video have been built up with a series of small bridges to keep you high and dry.
Thank you so much for your comment and for that very useful update on the trails, as well as the extra information about the Sandon part! Great information!
interesting. The first hydro plant in Canada was at Moodyville in 1881. Tried to find a bike path from Sandon to Kaslo high above Three Forks, all I did was badly bottom out car at Zincton. never really found trail.
Good video. I was angered at the fencing off of the trail along Summit Lake. It’s government neglect that allows landowners to cut off a public route like this. I made videos on RU-vid of these trails. Search RU-vid with my name & the words Bike Trails. It’s another perspective. Happy peddling.
