Kaslo-Nelson Hwy 31 (DH60) - The Kootenays / Hot Springs/Nelson
Kaslo to Balfour is a nice road. It's the kind of road you’d feel comfortable taking home to your parents, if you could. But something’s missing. Yes, it has its share of twisties, the pavement is great and the road parallels a magnificent lake. So, what's the problem? It does have a little more traffic than the other roads in the area, but that’s really not it. Somehow, the Ministry of Highways was able to take the natural qualities that make up a great road and, well, engineer the excitement out of them. Still, your parents would probably like it.
