Agree? Disagree? In any case, the Okanagan has been delivering

Hard to beat the scenery, remoteness and solitude you get in the Chilcotins. That said my next bike trip home to BC will hopefully include some rides in the Okanagan and Kootenays.

Lets see some more pics!

I've seen great pics from the Chilcotins, but I don't understand how there are trails made with no people to burn them in. Usually when I attempt to ride remote areas it's a bunch of shitty deer trails that go nowhere. Anyone know why the Chilcotins are so unique?

Agreed. No question about that.

Horse packers and prospectors are why those trails exist, is my understanding. Bikes are a recent addition.

Three Blind Mice trails were awesome. We did four or five days there last week. That area can be ridden as a shuttle or start at the bottom for + 3,000' continuous climbing. With a lot of those trails you're riding on rock slabs equally as much as dirt. It's wild.

Rode around Kelowna for one day. Did the Angel Falls trail off of the KVR, another 3,000' descent well worth the effort.

Few more. Ten days of riding, but not too many pictures...

That's it. That and the balance of not many people vs not so few people that trails become overgrown
