Visitors to the Myra Canyon Trestles can download a free interpretive guide designed to enrich their journey along the historic rail-to-trail.
The Myra Canyon Explorer brings the story of the Kettle Valley Railway to life — revealing the bold engineering, dramatic landscape, and little-known history behind one of the region’s most iconic outdoor experiences. Through a mobile-friendly format, visitors can explore the canyon at their own pace, discovering the people, challenges, and ingenuity that shaped this remarkable section of railway.
At each of the 21 Points of Interest, prominent trail-side signs invite visitors to unlock deeper stories on their phones, with content available in multiple languages. From hand-built trestles and tunnels to remote work camps and early railway technology, the experience connects today’s trail users with the realities of construction over a century ago.
Developed by the Friends of the South Slopes Society in collaboration with BC Parks, the Myra Canyon Explorer builds on more than 30 years of stewardship, trail maintenance, and historical preservation in Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park.
“We are excited to welcome local and international visitors to the rich history of the Myra Canyon trestles and Kettle Valley Railway,” said Alan Milnes, Director of the Friends of the South Slopes Society.
