Myra Canyon Bicycle Rental and Tours is recognized as a Biosphere Committed Entity for Tourism Sustainability. Biosphere develops certifications to guarantee compliance with the principles of sustainability and continuous improvement through a private, voluntary, and independent certification system.
Our operation will adapt and comply with all government guidelines in case of a Covid-19 outbreak. Online reservations are strongly encouraged as we will then be operating a smaller fleet and will minimize interpersonal contact. We will be offering a full fleet of adult bikes, a reduced fleet of kids items (trailers, tag-alongs, kids bikes). We will have a limited concession service available at the parking lot of the Myra Canyon. We will have a flexible change and refund policy to changes or cancelations if need be due to COVID restrictions.
Not only do reservations give you peace of mind but you will also save time as we will have the bikes set up and ready to go upon your arrival!

About Myra Canyon and the KVR
There are two access roads to Myra Canyon:
- Myra Forest Service Road to the Myra Station parking lot (east side of the Canyon),
- Little White Forest Service Road to the Ruth Station parking lot (west side of the Canyon).
Our bicycle rental shop is located at Myra Station parking lot, the east entrance of the Myra Canyon Trail.
The 24 km interactive trail (12 km one way to the other side of the Canyon plus 12 km for the same way back) can be comfortably cycled in 2–2.5 hours at a moderate pace with a few stops or 3–3.5 hours at a relaxed pace with plenty of time for taking pictures and short breaks.
The Myra Canyon Trail is 12 km each way, for a total of 24 km. As the trail is not a loop, you can also turn around at any point in time.
The trail is well maintained and very flat, making it accessible to all skill levels. The trail can be walked, but we recommend enjoying the full trail on a bicycle.
Myra Canyon is part of BC Parks and is open all year round without needing a booking or reservations.
Our bicycle rental shop is located at the Myra Station parking lot on the east side of the Canyon. We are right at the beginning of the trial between May long weekend and October (weather depending, until snowfall).

The Kettle Valley Rail Trail (KVR trail) starts west of Midway and runs to Rock Creek, then north to Myra Canyon, down to Penticton and over to Princeton, Coalmont, Brookmere, Coquihalla, and finally Hope. Some people cycle the whole trail in multiple days. The KVR trail is not always as well maintained as the Myra Canyon section but can be cycled at own risk.
The Kettle Valley Railway was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) around the turn of the 20th century to connect the main CPR line with the Kootenay region after gold, silver, and other minerals were found in the area. It goes all the way from Midway to Rock Creek, north to Myra Canyon, down to Penticton over to Princeton, Coalmont, Brookmere, Coquihalla, and finally Hope.
Much of the railway's original route has been converted into a multi-use recreational trail, known as the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, which is part of the Trans Canada Trail.
