Dewdrop Range Ride
The old double tracks out the Dewdrop Range make a fine route for biking. We turn onto the Frederick (Dewdrop) Road then follow it west for 3.5 km (or park sooner and bike the main road) where we arrive at a split in the road. The lower road goes between the hills then drops down to Frederick. The upper road heads west out to the Red Point area above Kamloops Lake. We park a short way up the upper road and bike the upper track west.
At junctions, continue to ride west. At an intersection (see the map above), we like to take the upper route, but a shorter route is to take the lower road which ends on a grassy benchland over Red Point. The upper route offers more choices of a steep route uphill to Red Plateau (go north), a track that continues west to Peregrine Bluffs (go west), or a cut-off route down to the Red Point area (go south), offering possible loop routes. We choose a different route each time we do this area. Our most frequent loop is about 13km return.
