Butters

Butters is rapidly becoming one of the most popular mountain bike trails in the Slocan Valley. Access is up a steep logging road which if you are not super fit you should definitely consider shuttling this one. The climb is relentless and a little rocky. Take the first left to access lower Butters which is a little steeper and technical than Upper Butters. Lower Butters is mostly blue with some black diamond sections. Upper Butters starts from the second left and is nice and flowy. Small signposts at the trailheads but helpful to have the GPS trail information particularly for accessing the top of lower butters. From Rosebery just north of New Denver take the West Wilson Creek FSR just north of the Rosebery Provincial Campground.

Galena Trail from Roseberry to New Denver

Popular trail following the abandoned CPR railway line from Rosebery to just above New Denver on Hwy 6. The trail takes an hour or two by foot and is a quick but mostly flat bike ride. The railway line is mostly just above the Slocan Lake and so has beautiful views throughout and is very smooth.
