Discover the less-traveled, scenic roads of the Okanagan... Gravel Style
Ready for an epic gravel adventure? Join us in Vernon, BC as guests at Predator Ridge Resort. The resort offers premium accommodations, dining, and some of the best views in the Okanagan. The Wheelhouse has scouted out some of our favourite gravel roads, boasting epic climbs and wicked views without the heavy traffic of paved roads. The accommodations are conveniently located at the Predator Ridge Resort, close to the city of Vernon. The resort offers everything needed from fine dining to a full-service café, a pub overlooking the golf course and a world-class spa at the top of the foothills. Post ride you can choose to explore the resort, visit a few wineries or hang out in the backyard. The Wheelhouse will have all your bike needs covered so you can enjoy the hot tub and sip some fine BC vino because you earned it.
THE RIDES
This part of the Okanagan has everything. Big climbs, switchbacks, full on descents to mellow rolling terrain. In the space of say a 5 hour ride I can ride through a number of different ecological zones — forested areas, semidesert to grasslands. Tons of lakes here and real deal climbs well over 2000m. Our biggest day will be starting and finishing at Big White Mountain with mix of forest service road, quad trails, rail trails and single track – including tunnels and trestles on KVR through Myra Canyon
