High up in the Purcell wilderness park, Toby Creek begins
its long journey down to the Columbia River. And the majestic Purcell
Mountains provide a fitting backdrop for one of the most stimulating
stretches of pavement you’ll find anywhere, especially in the second half
when it winds directly along the creek. Although a little rough in spots,
the road is well maintained and we found it almost entirely clear of the
gravel and debris common to ski hill approaches. Need more? The recently
developed four-season Panorama Resort waits for you at the top. At 17.9 km,
(11.1 mi), this is one of southern B.C.’s shortest DHs; it’s also one of
the sweetest.
"I drove this road every day for 3 years when I worked at Panorama but
unfortunately it was before I got my bike! Now I ride it once aweek and I
love every minute of it. Most of the rough spots in the pavement have been
fixed and even when its 36C out it's still cool down by the creek. An
excellent ride!"-- Erik
