The West Kootenays is a very mountainous region. In the summer months we experience very warm weather (it’s nice to be right on the lake!) but low pressure systems can come in at any time. We welcome this because it keeps the trails from being dry and dusty. On your trip with Rilor Wilderness you will be riding at elevations between 2,000-8,000 vertical feet. Even in midsummer it can be quite chilly at higher elevations so we encourage you to bring along a light sweater in your pack.
