Great Northern Rail Trail
Start location: Nelson
Ride Type: Loop-ish
Date Ridden: July 2023
Distance: 83 km
Elevation: 621 m
Surface: Mix road and gravel
Why do this ride: Part of the BC rail trail system. Erie Creek Brewing in Salmo.
Difficulty: Easy.
Other notes: Highway 6 is some of the smoothest tarmac I have ever ridden. The rail trail apparently goes through prime grizzly habitat with seasonal closures. The rail trail goes a bit further northeast from Nelson down to a beach at the lake which we rode separately (not shown on these pages).
