The KVR (Kettle Valley Railway) Trail is a former passenger and freight rail line that was active throughout much of the British Columbia interior from 1915 up until 1989.

After the old rail line was closed, the bed was turned into a hiking/biking/walking trail. It’s possible to take this trail from Penticton to Kelowna, a distance of 80 km (50 miles).

We have walked various parts of it, but since we don’t camp any more (I don’t think I would be able to walk the next day – sleeping on the ground is no longer in my wheelhouse!), we have never completed the entire stretch on foot. In order to see all of this piece of the trail, we decided to use our truck. (Off-road vehicles are permitted on this portion.)

The views on this beautiful day were marvellous and we were glad we were able to see this entire section; it was rather wonderful.

Happy Wednesday.
