Key Segments

Options

Staying on Highway 6 all the way from the end of Kalamalka Road to Lumby, and then back on Highway 6 from Lumby to Vernon, will greatly increase the ride speed and make this ride flatter.

The route can be extended past Lumby and Shuswap falls, all the way up to the southern end of Mabel Lake, or along Highway 6 to Cherryville, and even up to Sugar Lake.

Enjoy!
