Out and About the Slocan and Arrow Lakes Valleys. Thursday, June 26, 2003. Springer Creek Canyon Near Cape Horn Leaves Peter Breathless. There are a lot of stretches of highway in the Kootenays that demand the full focus of whoever is driving the car, or even the lone speeding cyclist. One such place is the steep hill on Highway 6 right out of Slocan City, heading north. Even with a good head of speed, you sort of bog down going up, and either shift down or lug a lot. Now, walk out to the highway and cro...

I rode my skinny-tired road bike into the village, past the park briefly, and then set out for the uphill tour to the hot pools. The temperature by noon had wormed up nicely and the sun had finally gotten serious about doing its job. A less demanding alternative for this outing could be to have a car shuttle haul you to the hot spring, then simply ride one way back to Naku...

Out and About the Slocan and Arrow Lakes Valleys. Thursday, August 22, 2002. Peter 'Takes a Ride Down Memory Rail. It’s been probably three years since I rode the section south from Summit Lake to Rosebery, and I keep hearing about the amount of brush growing up, and that there are some grizzly and even cougar sightings at times, so it seemed like a good time to revisit this route. The trail diminishes somewhat toward Rosebery as no vehicles go on it, but you can easily splash/crash on through, and after...

Out and About the Slocan and Arrow Lakes Valleys. Thursday, November 28, 2002. An Autumn Visit To Wilson Creek Falls. Over the years, any time that I’ve gone to see a waterfall, it was during the late spring or early summer, when the falls would be at their most intense and grand state at the peak of the runoff. However, this past October, I realized the value of visiting places at the less likely times. Posted by Peter at 10:34 AM. Nakusp, New Denver, British Columbia, Canada. View my complete profile.

Out and About the Slocan and Arrow Lakes Valleys. Thursday, August 09, 2001. Old Sandon Road Like New Again. Leaving my truck parked on Main St., I pedalled past the busy offices of The Valley Voice and rode down to the highway for a few hundred metres to where the Hartney logging road leaves the highway. This is the same road that gets up to the New Denver Flats, I believe, and the route I took climb steadily upward, kinda steeply, past few switchback turnoffs. I rode back to New Denver along the highwa...

Out and About the Slocan and Arrow Lakes Valleys. Wednesday, May 12, 2004. The Winlaw to Passmore Loop. There are so many great intermediate level rides in the Slocan Valley that are well suited to casual, bring-the-family type riding. Last fall I tried the old CPR rail grade south from Slocan City. To Winlaw, and though it got rough after Perry’s Back Rd., it was good enough to make me want to do more. What a fine ride! Posted by Peter at 10:26 AM. Nakusp, New Denver, British Columbia, Canada. Rolling o...

Out and About the Slocan and Arrow Lakes Valleys. Thursday, May 29, 2003. Ride Alongside Lemon Creek Offers Sweet Scenery. One New Year’s resolution that I’ve been able to keep pretty well this year is to get to know more of the little roads and lanes that meander off Highway 6 along the valley. I’ve driven past Lemon Creek a Million times enroute to Nelson. And am aware of it only as one of the accesses to Kokanee Glacier Park. I filled my water bottle at this point, and I will confess here that I drink...

Out and About the Slocan and Arrow Lakes Valleys. Thursday, April 03, 2003. Slocan Bluffs Below Cape Horn Provides Fascinating Loop Ride. After a couple kilometres of mild downhill, the new highway reverts to the less new highway, and a large paved pullout allows a stop to look down towards Slocan. Tourism can help our economy here, if we’re willing to share some of these hidden gems that we locals enjoy. After passing the bustle of the mill site, I toured the streets of Slocan. This is a collection of m...

Out and About the Slocan and Arrow Lakes Valleys. Wednesday, April 28, 2004. Taking a Little Walk In the Park. Most of the trails into Valhalla Park. Are either from the lakeshore or via some of the logging roads that are to the north and south ends of the park boundary on Crown lands. The easy way to see some of the lower end of the park at lake level is to hike into Evans Creek from the trailhead in Slocan City. I did the 15 km round trip hike to Evans Creek with three friends from New Denver. View my ...
