If Rossland is considered the Capital of Mountain Biking then surely the Boundary Country must be considered an Upscale Suburb.
The Grand Forks, Midway and Christina Lake Areas have a varietyof trails that will satisfy the full spectrum of bikers from novice cross-country rider to the hard-core freerider. From the easy rider to any body that just wants to go for a ride, the Kettle Valley Railway (Trans-Canada Trail) runs through our area providing a number of access points to the trails listed in this guide.For the Cross-country crowd we offer a variety of trails from easy jaunts to lung busting
climbs. For the freerider we offer from free-flowing to steep and gnarly with jumps and installs.
We live in a beautiful, relatively untouched part of the world, featuring two rivers and a lake that provide excellent swimming and camping opportunities after a day or two on the bikes. A camera is a must as the vistas from these trails are spectacular, the view of the Kettle River Valley from Ripper and Harpold, the Granby River Valley from Thimble Mountain and Christina Lake from Deer Point Trail.
We hope you enjoy your riding experience in our fine corner of this planet and find this guide helpful. Please pass this booklet on to others who may need a rewarding biking experience. This guide was made possible by the hard work and dedication of the Kettle River Mountain Biker’s Association. Club members are always up
