This two day self supported mountain bike tour takes place in the Invermere Forest District east of Canal Flats in BC. It starts at Whiteswan Lake BC Provincial Park. (See dashed red lines on map below which highlight route) The first day we head north along the forestry along the west side of the White River. We loop around the top to where the road parallels the Kootenay River. Camping that night will be opposite Gibralter Rock. The second day will see us continuing along the road that parallels the Kootenay River until it brings us to the road connecting Hwy 93 and Whiteswan Prov. Park. From there it is back to our cars at WSPP. Either while on the bikes or when driving out, we may try the Lussier hot springs.
