The Pylatuks have been riding in Revelstoke for more than 10 years. Alan said the ATVing in the area is second to none because of the variety of things to see and places to go.
“Revelstoke is a great place to ATV,” said Alan. “There are mining trails, forest service roads and the old trails that go from the top of the mountain to the alpine. You have millions of miles of logging roads to go on and there are lots of lakes if you want to go fishing, and from about June to November you can get in there and get to any lake.”
This summer the Pylatuks, along with their dog, Zeek, packed up their trailer and their ATVs and headed to Canada’s east coast for some work on a pipeline and one of the things they both love most—ATVing.
“I took my trailer and stayed right on the ocean for 41/2 months,” said Alan. “It was awesome—and I got paid to do it.”
Alan said the opportunities for ATVing in New Brunswick differ from those he’s familiar with around Revelstoke. Alan explained that while both regions are fantastic places to ride, New Brunswick has rolling topography and the infrastructure is fashioned to make ATV trails more accessible.
“The people are different there,” said Alan. “Everyone has a quad and they have spots that are built for quads to go under the highway. They have it set up just right for snowmobilers and quadders.”
Although Alan went to New Brunswick for work, he and Anita found time for sightseeing and quadding. Alan said the trip was great and he definitely wants to return to New Brunswick to go ATVing again.
“There is lots to see in New Brunswick as far as ATVing,” said Alan. “I would like to go ATVing over there again because it is so vast—there are a million different lakes and old railbeds that have been de-activated for people going through with their snowmobiles or ATVs, and every weekend people are out on them… It was a really good experience over there for me.”
