7 Summits Trail

The snow is gone (from the trail anyway) so it's game on for another season!

• It can be ridden as a loop from town but that involves about 22km of highway riding and the vast majority prefer to shuttle the trail and conserve their energy for the singletrack.

• Take LOTS of water, as it's ridgeline most of the way there is pretty much no water to be found along the trail.

• Yes, it's only 30 km but most people consider it a tough 30 kms.

• Your best bike choice is a 4-6" light trail bike with 2.35 tires.

• The preferred direction of travel is North to South. Riding it this way, most people add the Dewdney trail at the end which adds another 7 kms of descending to the day. Including the Dewdney, there's 1135m of climbing and 1960m of descending along the way.

• The trail takes you through a fragile alpine ecosystem. Please stay on the trail at all times! We want our singletrack epic to stay singletrack!

You can read about the trail in the following pfd of BIKE magazine's 07 Trail of the Year article and check some recent photos in the doc. file below.  Also, you can see a video or download the trail on your Google Earth through this link.
