I have been on that trail a couple years ago. The Bullmoose Tunnel is just under 1KM long, and yes it is pitch black inside!! A great tour would be to do this trail all the way to Christina Lake, then jump onto the old Cascade Hwy just east of the bridge in Christina Lake back to Rossland!!
Hey Jeremy! Nice to meet you at the deli/restaurant at Nakusp the other morning. Will definitely check out this railroad trail next time I'm in the Kootenays. Cheers from Edmonton.
The trail washed out in the spring just outside of Christina lake, and might not be open yet. I know they've been working on it recently, but last i heard it wasn't passable yet.
I didn’t think to ask anyone about the condition of the trail up ahead. There was lots of traffic, though, including a few trucks. I wonder if they fixed it? Guess there’s only one way to find out. Gotta go back!
Awesome to see ya and July having a good time back at Toad Rock! MIss those rides! July can hold her own on the hog better than most of the typical Harley riders I have known. lol
It’s a great ride! And, in case you haven’t seen it, here’s a follow up video where I complete the rail trail ride, including Bulldog Tunnel: ua-cam.com/video/StxBlMJOcxc/v-deo.htmlsi=0P83nHaeAeFI73_X
Yeah, I suppose you're right. I was only joking to bug my riding partner. In reality, I loved the trail and I hope to get back on it and do the whole thing ... maybe later this summer. :-)
That has to be a PRICELESS Riding Trail.! I image that it's pretty flat and easy to Ride with the right tires. I am shocked even a Harley Cruiser with street tires in the right hands can handle it. I found your Yelp Review to be cleaver and have a great balance of humor and sarcasm. LoL You're Riding Partner was very easy going when you put her on the spot like that.! 😜 Would you be able make another video all about this Excellent Trail, can you include detailed to the enterence and the exit.? (using Maps. I feel your videos need more MAPs plz) Which direction does it generally go (east & west perhaps) and where is the closet Town if a Rider would to trailer her Dual Sport and have to park a rented truck and utility trailer.?
I SWARE I watch every single video I comment on from start to the very very end even if my comment is off-topic. "Purple on Three" & her Husband "PSP Tommy G" either Rode from Fairmount Hot Springs to Banff today (Sunday) or Tomorrow. I suggested they stay in Canmore to save a bit of money. When will you Folks be back home.? I sware to you these are Good People and Nice MotoVloggers. They are well worth meeting for Coffee. (even if you do now know them yet) Just ask "Hill Quest Dual Sport" who met them yesterday (in Fairmount Hot Springs) and comment here on this video of yours as well. Jody & Tommy are heading to Alaska and could sure you use You & Elle's Riding advice. xoxo
They Kootenays are a real gem here in BC. Some very spectacular riding down there. It's great to see people enjoying it.

That sounds fantastic. Might attempt that later this summer. 😎
@@JeremyKroeker Try to do it when the smoke is low, absolutely incredible vista's on the Cascade Hwy!!
Bulldog tunnel.😁
Whatever it’s called, it sounds pretty cool.
@@slocanguide Yes, I forgot ;)
You got away... What a beautiful place and ok gravel roads... It beats pavement.
I hope to do the whole thing ... maybe soon.
Gotta ride this trail!

Thanks for saying hello! Yeah, it’s a great trail. I need to go back with more time and do the whole thing.
That is on our do list,thanks for sharing Jeremy.
It’s a good one. I need to get back there and ride the whole thing.
That’s a very cool trail!! I’ve made it part of a loop through the Kootenay’s a couple times. The tunnels and bridges are always a highlight
I rode parts of it twice this summer. Love it, and I’ll be back!

@@JeremyKroeker They have repaired the trail, so we're just waiting on snow now.

Truth. On a subsequent ride, I got to do the whole thing. Video coming soon. 😎
There is a beautiful section of the Milwaukee railroad you can ride in Idaho with tunnels and bridges
So many trails, so little time. Sounds cool.
Awesome video, I'm visiting this trail in 2 weeks. BC has some of the best rail trails in the world.

hey bud. I am going to ride that later this year. thanks for the preview.
My pleasure. It’s a great ride!
3 out of 5 stars is a bit harsh Jeremy, I thought it looked really good. Great vid!

When you are ready to go all the way, I’m in!………..riding the rail trail that is…….😂😂
I'm glad you clarified. 😬 😎

I’m might ride that trail again this summer. Perhaps another video could appear. With maps. 😎 Closest town is Castlegar.
Where they started it is just north of Castlegar and very close to Celgar pulpmill. It is a pretty big parking lot too
Hey Jeremy thanks for the video. goggle maps finds "Slocan Valley Rail Trail" no finds "Castlegar Rail Trail" are they the same?
Thanks
I think they are one and the same. I just called it that because that’s what the local guy who told me about it called it. 👍
They aren't the same. This section of trail is actually part of the Transcanada trail, and used to be the Columbia & Western rail line.
See? This is what I get for not doing any research. 😂 Thanks for info.
Kettle Valley Rail, or Columbia Multi-use Trail I think are other names it goes by.

Give her a break, she’s Albertan, if she doesn’t ride a Harley someone will tell her she’s being an anti-oil socialist or something.
Fair point. 😬
