BT700 Nakusp Rosebery

Ambitious A real undertaking. Demanding on a couple of fronts, like rough surfaces plus steady climbing, or a long stretch on busier roads.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

A 43 km BT700 leg linking Nakusp and Rosebery, entirely unpaved and nearly flat, with only about 500 m of climbing. The kind of stretch where you settle into a rhythm: quiet gravel, forest, and long sections with nobody around. Route created by Matt Kadey of BT 700 Bikepacking.
