In Salmo, BC, from its junction with Highway 6, Highway 3B makes a nice cruise along Beaver Creek all the way to Fruitvale. Shoulders are a little less generous here, but always present, and traffic remains fairly light. Beyond Fruitvale is where the trouble begins. Motels, developed campgrounds, primitive campgrounds, restaurants and other service are strategically placed along the route, allowing for a wide range of touring styles and preferences. Details, route description and maps to be released later this spring.
Shoulders range from narrow to non-existent.
Recorded survey notes are still being transcribed and additional routes remain to be surveyed during the summer of '99 in search of more friendly routes through this rugged country.
