BC trip direction
We're hoping to spend around a month in BC next summer from mid-June to mid-July. I realize things can be different from year to year, but on average, would you think trails and such are more accessib...

Yes, KVR was on my radar. I understand that the Myra trestles have been rebuilt. There are a few other rails to trails in the general area, such as the Nakusp and Slocum, Columbia and Western, etc. I know that the rails to trails aren't too difficult or technical, but we can cover so much more territory than the typical MTB trail where we are so focused on the next curve or rock rather than the scenery around us.
I already use Trailforks and have been consulting it about every day trying to figure out what trails we want to do. Of course I want to leave plenty of time for hiking, too. (Although that can seem so slow after riding!)
Dave, I like the added places you added. We've been to Revelstoke and Glacier NP's before. Revelstoke was on our list for this trip because several people had highly recommended the Frisby Ridge trail, but I guess it is undergoing a major reconstruction and won't be open until mid-July, so we may miss it this time. I started some of my planning a couple of months ago with the list of PP's you provided to profdant139 back in 2012.
I like staying in the more southerly part of the province. I know there are some great PP's further north, but I'd rather spend our time outside doing things rather than in the vehicle driving to the next destination. The northern parks are for later when Allison is also retired!
I was thinking about camping at Alice Lake PP and using it as a base to explore south to Vancouver and north to maybe as far as Whistler. Reasonable or is there a better alternative?
