From Castlegar the Columbia & Western climbs steadily to Christina Lake and on to Midway, through tunnels and across trestles left by the railway. This is remote riding: long forested stretches, big canyon moments, and not much traffic of any kind. It links with the Kettle Valley Rail Trail for a serious multi-day loop.
