Naramata by bike

Following the KVR (Kettle Valley Railway) it took us all the way to Naramata where the lake was awaiting us. The ribbons of steel that made up the Kettle Valley Railway are gone. All that is left are 16 km of track, the odd station house and out buildings, a few relics and the history. The Kettle Valley Railway was the tie that bound the Kootenays to the rest of British Columbia. The Kettle Valley Railway started at Hope and went all the way to Midway, zigzagging throughout the south western sections of B.C. From Hope, the KVR made its way through the Coquihalla River gorge. It continued onward to Princeton, West Summerland, Penticton, along the south side of Okanagan Lake and finally south to Midway, for a total of 525 km.
