Reward your soul with an inspiring half-day trip to Myra Canyon. This highly scenic portion of the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) runs along a steep-walled canyon. Originally built by hand at the turn of the last century, this impressive landmark is highlighted by 2 tunnels and 18 trestle bridges that are too spectacular for words. For more information on the Myra Canyon Trestles, visit the Myra Canyon Restoration Society website.
Located only 24km from downtown Kelowna (40 min drive to Myra Station). This scenic drive will take you past farms, orchards, vineyards, and golf courses. The road up to the trestles is a gravel road, but most vehicles should be able to make the climb during the summer and fall months. At Myra Station, there is a large parking area right at the entrance of the KVR.
Note: The park is open year-round with services from mid-April to November 15.
During the months from May to October you can hike or bike it. You can rent a bike or get a guided tour with Myra Canyon Bike Rental & Tours. Or you can get a shuttle from downtown Kelowna & guided tour with Kettle Valley Railway Cycling Company or Cheers! Okanagan Tours.
During the months from November - April you may expect to see snow on the trail which provides the opportunity to snowshoe or fat bike. No rentals are available at Myra Canyon, so you need to bring your equipment. The only mode of transportation during this time is by personal vehicle, is it also highly recommended that the vehicle is equipped with a 4x4 drive and higher clearance in order to navigate a snowy road.
