Duncan Lake in the West Kootenays, BC, is an amazing quadding area. You can travel north along Duncan Lake for about 40km, then another 40 along the Duncan River, and 40?km after that, where you are supposed reach the valley that turns left towards Butters Lake but we didn't do the last 1/3 of the trip. The valley eventually ends up in Glacier National Park but there are no trails up that way. All of this is done in a straight rift valley that goes north-south all day long. The road is excellent, fast and very quiet. We didn't meet any other riders the whole day. From about the 80 km mark (the left turn bridge we turned around at) you can see the Razor's Edge and Mount Templeman. Oh yeah, carry spare gas...
