This paved western half of the Princeton – Summerland
Rd traces an arm of the defunct Kettle Valley Railway, reputedly one of the
most expensive railway lines ever laid. Frankly, they’d have been better
off investing some of that cash in Harley-Davidson stock. If they had, the
railway might still be running and there would have been plenty left over to
pave all the way to Summerland. After ambling through a shallow valley, this
pylon-free DH climbs across a high, open plateau and descends to spend most
of its time in a second valley before turning to gravel. Although the
scenery here is a good mix of open ranchland plateau and treed valley
bottom, you won’t be inspired to stop and pull the Pentax from your
saddlebag. When the gravel finally takes over, you have three options: turn
around, stay the night at one of three campsites on three lakes; or maxburns
it another 41.0 km (25.9 mi) to tarmac, 8.0 km (5.0 mi) west of Summerland.
