June 2008 | Welcome to the RidersWest eNewsletter
If you haven't already booked your summer vacation, now is the time to do it. And with RidersWest as your guide, it's easy to find adventures to do and events to attend. In this newsletter, for example, we feature the ATVing opportunities in Elkford, Valemount and Revelstoke, B.C., and we've got the low-down on races, ATV derbies and motorcycle rallies coming up in Western Canada. An event that motocross racers are excited about is the B.C. provincial championships in Port Alberni July 4 to 6. Whether you're a racer or a spectactor, the Alberni Motocross Association—the club that is hosting the championships—promises a good time. Read more about this and other stories in this month's newsletter.

INSIDE THE INDUSTRY » CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA
New perspectives
The view is astonishing and the air is fresh at 4,200 feet near the summit of Mt. Sentinel, which towers over Castlegar and the Kootenay and Columbia River valleys. However, the high altitudes of the trails that crisscross the mountains in this area are not the only unique points of view you will experience on an ATV tour with Turtleback Adventures.
