Nakusp to New Denver to Kaslo to Balfour plus Sandon - Hwy 6, Hwy 31A, Hwy 31
The section from New Denver to Kaslo is one of the best motorcycle roads in BC. The scenery is great, and there's a lot of history in the area - mining, a WW II Japanese Internment camp, etc.. The route continues from Kaslo to Balfour along Hwy 31. The route is all paved except side trip to Sandon, an old mining town.
