A 221 km loop through the West Kootenay linking Nelson, Kaslo, and New Denver over two days, with an optional cable-car river crossing on the way out and a return leg on the Slocan Valley Rail Trail. About 2,300 m of climbing in all, with a fair amount of highway riding between the trail sections, so expect to share the road.
