Hello -
I will be traveling to Rossland BC from Spokane WA to ride the 7 summits trail with my 13 year old son (a very advanced 13 yo MTB rider). Any advice on where to stay and a shuttle service to use - also, I have a passport - will a birth certificate be enough for my son?
Thanks,
Joe
I'm not from there, but I've got my eye on that place for a future trip.
Here are some sites that may have some info for you if you haven't seen them yet.

Also, check out MTBR.com forums in the western canada section or the passion section. Several good threads by people who have ridden it this year. Hopefully they can give you some more advice.
About the border, not too sure on that one. Best to call customs and hear it from the horse's mouth directly.
Good luck!
