Similkameen Drive

This is the Similkameen River just outside of town. I have always liked this old train (bridge or tressle). A reminder of "the old days" when the train used to run up the river through Nighthawk & Loomis and on into Canada maybe. The tracks have been pulled up to make a "bike path". Although it is man made, I think it adds something to the river.

As I recall, the tracks were removed 20 or more years ago, the community "planned" to make into a scenic hiking/bike trail, all the way to Canada. Was this project ever completed? Ever started? We used to hike what areas were accessible a few times years ago, the bridge was "off limits" but we got a thrill out of crossing it anyways. Such thrill seekers! Ha!
