[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1434772, member: 78971"] Great Goodman - agreed - though the main road climbing through the elevation of Glacier is STILL amazing, but alas, the state charges like $30 per bike to go through, and it is always busy with too much traffic for my tastes. Glad you took the road less traveled ([B]MT-49[/B]); yes, though the pavement is not well maintained, it is a nice detour with awesome views. Yes, [B]BC highways 6 and 23 are fully paved[/B]. 23 gets you from the ferry (then north) to Revelstoke; be careful, as sometimes the RCMP [LEOs] have good reason to sit off to the side and wait for misbehaviour. I've ridden it many times, and people heading north after riding off the ferry seem like they are in a Grand Prix race sometimes. BC highway 6 remains one of my faves, especially between the little towns of Slocan and Silverton. 🙂 [B]EDIT:[/B] Sorry, forgot to confirm that [B]YES, between New Denver and Kaslo, BC 31A is fully paved[/B], mostly well maintained. [U]Only the section of BC31 between Kaslo and Galena Bay has any gravel[/U]. [/QUOTE]
