BIG GEARS. BIGGER VIEWS
Bikepacking, the cool cousin of traditional bike touring, ditches the pavement for gravel roads and off-road trails, giving a wild twist to multi-day, self-supported bike trips. It’s pedal powered backpacking, with trails and off-road obsession that gives traditional bike-touring a run for its money.
In this haven of two-wheeled wonder, Rossland offers a smorgasbord of trip options for all skill levels and distances. You can connect the dots and weave your way through popular routes like the Columbia Western rail trail or the Kettle Valley Rail trail, turning Rossland into a launchpad for epic adventures.
Bikepacking lets you cover more ground than hiking or trail running, but it keeps you intimately connected to the breathtaking landscapes. It’s like a fast-forward button for exploration, sprinkled with a healthy dose of physical challenge. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to foster a sense of community and camaraderie. So hop on your bike and join the pedal-powered revolution.
LOTS & LOTS OF TRAILS
The extensive single-track system and variety of rides lure adventurers from all over the world. Novices to experts will certainly find something to suit their skills. For easier rides, explore the hundreds of kilometers of old wagon roads, rail grades and pack trail left over from the town's mining heyday. Serious bikers can spend a day riding the infamous Seven Summits Trail, or one of the many downhill single track trails accessible right from town.
