Everybody is sleeping on anchorage. We’ve got some pretty damn awesome riding now. New trails every year and awesome terrain. Watch out for bears and moose.

Nakusp is an up and coming area, lots of new trails with campsite and no traffic.

yeah I wouldn't classify Fernie as sleeper either, 100% rad, for sure though. Wife and I stayed a night in Nakusp a couple years ago on the way to Nelson, definitely some fun rides, looks like they're finally moving on their big plans there too, can't wait to see how it turns out...that's such a rad part of BC.

Funny you say that because I would have to drive through New Denver to get there coming from Rossland.
Maybe I’ll check out New Denver first.

Kaslo is also not new but they have a bunch of new trails popping up and a pretty good brewery.

I'm curious to see how Mt. Abriel in Nakusp develops. The trails below the highway aren't all that interesting, but they are developing more above the highway and I expect those will be more fun. I do like the fact the campground is part of the network. The Box Lake trails are pretty fun, and the Kuskanax Trail is a great XC ride through a beautiful forest. I don't think Nakusp is a destination until itself, but it is a great place to stop for some riding between Revelstoke and Nelson/Rossland.

Really? Awesome. I've been toying with bringing the bike out that way. My dad was from Trail and I want to go there just to see it (I know it's not much of a destination) and Kaslo was his favourite place. He had a cabin on the shore there up until the mid nineties.
Thanks, all the more reason to drive a few provinces over.

I only had one shuttle lap but Bootleg in Kimberley blew me away. Snow Mexican off the top, fall line tech with awesome rock lines, steep berms, doubles, drops etc. So good.. amazing trail building quality. And then the lower half of the mountain has ridiculously well built jump lines.
Will need to check out Fernie next summer though, in-laws live in Cranbrook which is a good base.
