When the summer heat arrives, its nice to hike or bike the XC ski trail networks:

• higher elevations so they are usually cooler
• often treed so shade can be found
• good parking, well-signed
• cleared trails (no ski-scratching rocks!)
• double tracks for easy riding

A few of these trail networks are featured on kamloopstrails.net.

China Ridge Cross Country Ski Trails are situated on a ridge to the north of Princeton.   Drive towards Coalmont and watch for the turn-off signs on the uphill side.    There are 64 km of trails in the network and they have recently added 10km of single track routes for mountain bikers.    Website link
