You push off from an air-conditioned van and the valley opens — a corridor of sun-dry sage, pine-scarred slopes and the long wooden backs of trestles stretching across the canyon like a raised walkway. The guide briefs the group, checks helmets and throttle, and you settle into the gentle hum of an e-bike as the Kettle Valley Rail Trail unfurls beneath you.

You push off from an air-conditioned van and the valley opens — a corridor of sun-dry sage, pine-scarred slopes and the long wooden backs of trestles stretching across the canyon like a raised walkway. The guide briefs the group, checks helmets and throttle, and you settle into the gentle hum of an e-bike as the Kettle Valley Rail Trail unfurls beneath you.
The ride follows a rail-grade built in the early 1900s to connect interior British Columbia. Myra Canyon’s 18 trestles and two tunnels are engineering relics from the Kettle Valley Railway, rebuilt and repaired after wildfire damage in the early 2000s by volunteers and park crews. Geologically the route skirts fractured granitic outcrops and thin soils above the valley floor, offering clear views into the Okanagan’s patchwork of orchards and lake.
Culture here is outdoors-first: cyclists, hikers and local guides who read weather and wildlife will shape your pace. Expect to stop for history talks, photos at lookout trestles and short wildlife sightings — deer and raptors are common.
Practicalities: the tour is fully guided with e-bike included and runs about 4–6 hours total (includes transport). The trail is mostly flat rail-grade but exposed; sunscreen, a charged battery on the bike, and steady pedaling for sections are essential. Pack water, layered clothing for winds along the canyon, and a camera — the trestles are the reason you came, and the ride makes them feel immediate and alive.
moderate.
4–6 hours.
Suitable for light to moderate fitness; e-assist reduces climbing but riders should handle 20–40 km at an easy pace.
The guided portion on the Kettle Valley Rail Trail runs about 2–4 hours depending on stops; the full tour with transport is typically 4–6 hours.
No technical cycling skills are required—the route is rail-grade and the e-bike’s assist helps maintain speed; riders should be comfortable balancing on a bike for several hours.
Most operators set age and height minimums; confirm with the provider as some e-bikes require riders to meet a minimum age or size for safety.
Tours often cancel in heavy rain or hazardous wind for safety; check cancellation policy and bring layers for variable conditions.
The Kettle Valley Railway was built in the early 20th century to connect interior BC; Myra’s trestles are restored sections of that line, repaired after wildfire damage in the 2000s.
Trails are maintained by park authorities and volunteers; stay on the rail-grade, pack out waste, and follow local e-bike rules to limit trail erosion and wildlife disturbance.
Vivid Tours operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
