Merritt to Brookmere via Coldwater Road
A very scenic ride along a paved backroad with multiple views of the Kettle Valley Railway and Coldwater River. The road is quite twisty.
View
Princeton - Summerland Road
A country road from Princeton to Summerland. About 2/3 is paved, the rest is packed gravel of varying condition. An adventure bike or large dual sport would be the best choice of bike for the entire route, but it's passable on a street bike. A good ride with some nice corners and scenery.

Brookmere to Princeton via Brookmere Rd, Coley Rd, Coalmont Rd
The route from Brookmere to Coalmont Road is a narrow dirt and gravel road (dual sport or adv bikes). Coalmont Road is good gravel to almost Otter Lake. After that it's all paved to Princeton - lots of twisty sections. The route runs through Tulameen and Coalmont, and runs close to (and intersects) the Kettle Valley Railway in a number of places. Very Scenic.

The section from New Denver to Kaslo is one of the best motorcycle roads in BC.

Side trip to Sandon, an old mining town. The route is all paved except the backroad to Sandon.
