Lac du Bois / Dewdrop Rosseau
Start location: Kamloops
Ride Type: Loop-ish
Date Ridden: September 2022
Important Note: The Mt Wheeler section connecting Lac du Bois grasslands to Tranquille and then Dewdrop Rosseau can no longer be ridden due to the recent creation of a nature preserve (excellent news; see photo). I have replaced the original route with a Lac du Bois loop, organized as part of the Kamloops Grasslands series (go ride with them!) and a cropped version of the Dewdrop/Rosseau part of original route.
Surface: Mostly gravel
Lac du Bois Loop (40 km, 755 m)
Dewdrop Rosseau section (60 km, 700 m)
Why do this ride: Lac du Bois grasslands, Tranquille and Dewdrop/Rosseau wildlife management areas are spectacular.
Difficulty: The Lac du Bois loop should be pretty straightforward; the trails in the Dewdrop Rosseau sector are a bit rougher. But with the removal of Mount Wheeler, the hardest part of the original route is gone.
Other notes: Fall is a great time of year to ride here with splendid colours
