The KVR ends in Midway and the Columbia and Western Rail Trail begins, which ends after a good 160 km in Castlegar. This railway line also leads through wonderful and lonely nature. In contrast to the KVR, the cyclist sometimes comes through small, former pioneer towns. This makes the supply of food and water easier. Campsites offer showers and washing machines. The trail conditions are comparable to the KVR, i.e. natural slopes with changing conditions and no gradients with more than 2.5%. After extreme rains, it can happen that the trail is washed away completely. Then it's time to pack up and carry your bike and panniers to the other "bank". This trail can also be used with motorcycles, so that you can maybe meet motocross riders. If you run out of electricity for your smartphone & Co. (including Komoot), you should pay attention to the electricity pylons. Both in the towns and across the country, there are often sockets on the masts. Most are live (110 V). Hardware stores and supermarkets often have sockets within easy reach of the facades. On the occasion: Instead of overpriced outdoor shops, you can buy camping equipment (e.g. gas cartridges) much cheaper at "Canadian Tire". They not only carry tires, but also everything for outdoor life and in almost every medium-sized city there is a branch.
