Myra Canyon’s cyclists ready to roll again
A recent article written by Jack Christie in Vancouver’s Georgia Straight talks about the reopening of the Kettle Valley Railway Trail near Kelowna after forest fires in 2003 destroyed 12 wooden trestle bridges. This is something all British Columbians should do at least once. Here is the beginning of the article.
============
The trestles are back! The trestles are back! Phoenixlike, 12 wooden trestle bridges on the Myra Canyon section of the Kettle Valley Railway Trail near Kelowna have reappeared after vaporizing in flames during 2003’s forest fires. At the time, the loss seemed irreplaceable. Five years and $13.5 million in provincial and federal grants later, the Myra Canyon Trestle Restoration Society (www.myratrestles.com/) plans to unveil the new bridges on June 22.
