Are you still in the Cherryville area? I lived there years ago and i was hoping to ask a question

At 5:36, you are looking at Armstrong Lake. The Gerrard to Trout Lake City portion of hwy 31 is nick named "The Mountain goat Freeway".

Spent a week there this August with my kids! Kayaking, rafting ect.. Ziplining was a Hoot!! Absolutely stunning area!!

My friend Keith at 5:49 out for a cruise! This was my drive to work for about 25 years.

I've been looking to actually see the community of Prichard and video but so far all I get is a bridge.. there's got to be more than that

What a boring video

Beautiful!

Gorgeous, thanks for the drive!

This is a great road from chase all the way through lavage and into kamloops. If you start at kamploops and do the same route, but chase, head back to kamloops turn left after a couple Kim's, onto to the Armstrong back road, and loop back to kamloops

mannnn...i remember the smoky days of summer there

Why no overnight parking?

Do you think i can take my mini van

Is this road doable for cyclists?

I grew up on that lake in a log cabin until we moved into Chace and went to their elementary school. ❤❤❤❤❤ Living here was the happiest times of my life . Thankyou for taking me down memory lane.

Have you ever went to Lemming Mills?

Thnx! good too see as I'll be on moto riding it in two days. cheers

The story goes on how this mine was found , there was an old road somewhere above where the main pit is located and there was a coffee shop located there, for some reason a drilling crew decided to do a core sample behind the shop ,the rest is history. Also this mine used to be the second biggest user of electricity in BC , the gov of BC is the biggest consumer of electrical power.

I love that place I’m going there in 11 days thanks for sharing 😊

I live almost 1/2 way along the route you just took. Sadly, from lemon creek to silverton is on evacuation and the forests have now been burned from lemon creek to silverton on both sides of the valley. Our picturesque valley is no longer due to wildfire. Choking on smoke as i speak….

nice video

You might have included “ Trepanier” which I don’t think exists anymore just south of Peachland. I recall as a kid it was judt a wide spot in the highway #97 with a Texaco station that had a round Rexaco sign with a big red star . That was common then. Texaco was “ Texas Oil Company “ sonthe big red star was the star of Texas. There might have been a cafe there but we never stopped passing through which took about two minutes.

That is Rattlesnake Island across the lake from Peachland. I thought it was part of a provincial park or indigenous people’s land reserve. So it’s hard to believe a commercial venture was started in it. This island is supposed to be the home of the Ogopogo thus s sacred spot to the native people. In 1867 a farmer was taking some horses across the lake. The story was the horses were swimming when something pulled them under. This was the first encounter of a non native settler with the Ogopogo.

I grew up un Summerland in the 1950’s and 60’s. Nice to see a video as it is now. Our house was at where that apartment building is now on the right at 2:49. Across the street that building used to be Durnin Motors Chevrolet dealership in the 1950’s. Almost everything I knew as a kid is gone now except the mountains that haven’t changed a bit. It’s too bad that old Summerland had numerous fruit orchards in town. I remember well where they were. I think in summer they moderated the hot dry weather but now they are all gone the hot weather is probably more like it was in the desert before anything was built there. Summers must be brutal now up on the flat land above the lake. The original Summerland was below on the shore of Okanagan Lake. What you call “ Summerland “ was called “ West Summerland “ in the 1950’s to differentiate it from the original Summerland by the lake.

I LOVE New Denver and Silverton!!! They are best kept secrets!!!

The road to the right before you got to Dewry Lake that you thought goes to Deka. It does not . Going on that road to the east it goes past Rat lake and Cougar lake to the junction were you can go left back down to Mahood Lake going to the right you end up in Clearwater. Lots of campsites and lakes along the way.

My brother and I were through in April 2024. It's definitely a winding road nice drive, though. We saw the gas pumps, but I'm not sure if they are still in use. Thanks for sharing!🇨🇦

Always enjoy, thanks! 👍😎🇨🇦

Excellent. Note the difference in the quality of the pavement between Nevada and Idaho.

All I can say is wow and I feel so old this route has changed a lot since the 70's.

Yup there’s my hometown right there.

I usually stop at that Supersave for ⛽ gas, too en route to Little Fort 👍

This was my daily ride to & from school in Barriere from Little Fort 👍

i did hwy 31 a couple years ago...fantastic !!! i try to do all the backroads while i'm still able ( pushing 75 and still camping and backroading)

Gostei muito das fotos ,tenho duas amigas que conheci em 1992 na ECO 92 no Rio de Janeiro ,RJ Brasil Moravam nesta cidade, Elas se chamam Katie e sou Bonnier

FANTASTIC!! What a perfect video. This is the best video I have seen in a long time. Knowledgeable, calming voice, beautiful scenery! I live in Salmon Arm and this was just perfect. I have watched a lot of utube videos from Arizona and the like but this was a step up!! I hope people from across Canada watch this, they will see how beautiful this area is.

Did you get back to the ferry? Its an awesome sail! 👍😎🇨🇦

Its such a beautiful area but also a hard pace to live with the huge amout of snow in the winter.

Turn left at 4:10 sometime (Riverside Rd) come visit the old Mara townsite, great history, beautiful area. You come back out to 97A at 6:29, an awesome backroad!

Most of those fields use irrigation, the farms have water rights on the Shuswap River.

The terrain looks almost desert-like. Must be somewhat arid climate here.

I grew up in Nakusp,and it's nice to see all these places again.Thanks for your video!Love em

The road does look old and patched. I love the backways and byways. And not any traffic. Nice! Those creepy beetles are in our countryside in Utah. They love the desert.

no commentt........
