Is there really nothing there? Is it worth taking our bikes with us?

Theres enough there to warrant bringing the bikes. Just head up to the camping area by the springs and jump onto Montezumas revenge and down BS (pop bottle) and onto B&B which are some decently fun DHs leading to the Spirit trail which is a series of fun XC trails heading south to Canal Flats (east side of Columbia lake : beautiful) but the bulk of them loop back at about the half way point. Teen Spirit etc.will loop you back north. I also found a bunch of fun trails that lead up to the ski hill and not sure if on trailforks or not but it is hard to get too lost in there. Bumped into a lot of bears though
For the 20-30 minute drive hard not to go to Swansea and ride South Park at least one of the days to along with Hula Girl and Meat Grinder. That climb up is still one of my favorites and is never busy. Whole valley is fun though with High Roller just north of Invermere and Johnson/Klusifer just west and Radium has a bunch to.
