Incomappleux valley


Jim and I had the good fortune to visit Patrick at the Mountain Hostel in the Incomappleux valley over the last couple of days. We heard that a rock fall had closed the road into the valley from the canyon so it sounded like the Incomappleux was remote once again. We drove through Nakusp and past the Galena Bay Ferry and turned off before reaching Trout Lake. 15km of flat mountain biking up the valley brought us to the Hostel. It sounds like Patrick had a few adventures building the beautiful lodge. The following day we got a ride up into the hills for a look around the surroundings. The Incomappleux valley was apparantly named after a french phrase for land of lots of rain.... The headwaters of the valley are the glaciers at Rogers Pass.
