A mostly-singletrack overnighter from Squamish up to the alpine near Mount Garibaldi (Nch'Kay), mapped by Cameron Fenton. 75 km with 2,421 m of climbing, 95 percent unpaved and 85 percent singletrack.

A 538 km point-to-point route from Kelowna to Kimberley along the historic Kettle Valley Railway and Columbia and Western rail grades, mapped by Guy Stuart. Mostly rail trail and highway grade with some hike-a-bike on Gray Creek Pass, and about 5,740 m of climbing.

A 352 km loop from Midway through Myra Canyon's Kettle Valley rail grade, then wine country roads around Naramata, Penticton, Oliver, and Osoyoos, back over Anarchist Summit. Mapped by Penny Lawless, it's rated easy to moderate.

A four-day, 238 km loop around the south end of Okanagan Lake from Kelowna, mapped by Cameron Fenton, linking rail trail, gravel backroads, and singletrack. Paced for winery, brewery, and food stops, best ridden at harvest time.

A 175 km, mostly unpaved overnighter through two Monashee mountain valleys near Sicamous, mapped by Dario Dulic. Steep gravel climbs up to 20 percent grade and 3,778 m of elevation gain, with a resupply stop in the remote village of Seymour Arm.

A 291 km loop through southern BC from Fernie, one of ten routes in Ryan Correy's guidebook 'Bikepacking in the Canadian Rockies.'

A roughly 1,200 km gravel-focused loop from Fernie through the Flathead into Montana, Idaho, and Washington and back into the Kootenays, following portions of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route and BC Epic 1000. Mapped by Megan Dunn, it mixes forest service roads, some pavement, a short singletrack stretch, and one demanding hike-a-bike descent through bear country, with a free ferry crossing of Kootenay Lake near Nelson.

An 80 km overnight loop from Nipika Mountain Resort into the East Kootenays, mapped by Peter Fordham, climbing to Miller Pass before a rugged, overgrown descent that calls for bike-hiking and solid navigation.

A 550 km figure-eight route through the Central Kootenays from Nakusp, mapped by Ali Becker and Mat Leblanc, passing fourteen lakes, three hot springs, and two free ferry crossings plus a cable car over Carpenter Creek. Moderate to challenging, mostly for its remoteness through grizzly, black bear, cougar, and wolf territory.

A 475 km, five-to-seven day loop through the West Kootenays from near Castlegar, mapped by Ali Becker and Mat Leblanc. Rail trails, forest service road climbs, and paved connectors through old mining and forestry towns, with a free cable ferry and side trips to hot springs and alpine lakes.

A 347 km loop through southern BC from Cranbrook, one of ten routes in Ryan Correy's guidebook 'Bikepacking in the Canadian Rockies.'

A 145 km, two-to-three day gravel loop from Invermere up to lakeside Recreation Sites at Cleland Lake and Dogleg Lake, with an optional cafe detour to Spillimacheen. Two significant climbs, and free first-come-first-served lakeside camping along the way.
