Back in the Saddle Again

As with most entry points into the Kettle Valley Railroad trail system, Myra Canyon is the start point for both the Myra Canyon to Penticton/ Osoyoos trail, and the east-bound leg leading to Midway and Castlegar.

East trail leading to Midway/ Castlegar.

During the first day of our journey the scenery didn't change much; conifer forest interspersed with the occasional lake.
Typical view from the saddle.

The first body of water we came across was at McCulloch Lake Resort. Jeff had thought to inquire about staying here overnight, but it's too close to our starting point. As it turns out, it didn't look to be open for business. From general observances it seems that construction has halted. Some of the exposed building paper was faded and torn in spots. Although, electricity was being fed to at least one building; a porch light was left on. From info gleaned from the 'web I learned that this is/ was intended to be a resort strata-titled community.

A few kilometers down the trail we happened upon a gazebo, a bit of welcome shade. A sign beside it said the lake was Private but all were welcome to use the gazebo.
