Hwy. 6 leads to the village of Rosebery, and a small parking lot on Rosebery Loop Road, which marks the start of the non-motorized-use Galena Trail. The 13-kilometre trail ends in Three Forks, following the old Nakusp and Slocan Railway along scenic lakeshore and through dense forest. The ride is suitable for all levels, thanks to its mostly subtle grade and roomy width, but use caution when crossing Hwy. 6, and on the more difficult sections between New Denver and Carpenter Creek. At the latter, you'll make a thrilling one-person cable car crossing. The reward at the top of the steep climb on the other side is the sprawling ruin of Alamo Siding, an old mining structure. ■ –Catherine Roscoe Barr • Howe Sound: The sheer relentlessness of pristine Pacific Northwest beauty will awe you here: smooth blue sea dotted with green islands and ringed by mountains.
