Such a shame that the trail isn’t policed… in summer it is totally mayhem here with cars, ATV’s and motorcycles (!) all over the KVR-trail. Consequently the trail is totally ruined (one big sand pit) and not really worth cycling any more… Tried doing the trail in summer 2008, but went off it and on to forest service roads after Penticton (coming from the west).
