The Galena Trail, BC

The Kootenays should be on
everyone's list of Top
Places to Visit in British Columbia.
Besides being packed with history,
the Kootenays is home to some pretty
spectacular scenery.
The Galena Trail is part of the
old railway bed of the CP railway.
This part of the railway was built in 1895 to access
the local silver mines in the Slocan Valley.
The 13 km long Galena Trail runs from
Rosebery to Three Forks, and is great
for hiking, mountain biking, and
cross country skiing or snowshoeing
in the winter months.
