I don't know about you, but I think Spring is here to stay in the Okanagan. I am a little sad winter hiking is coming to an end but hello wildflowers!
Stay tuned for some blogs and videos to follow!Comments (1)-
The first birds are returning, and the snowdrops and crocuses are blooming here in southwestern Ontario too. All the signs of spring!

Located just outside of Lake Country, BC, this network of trails allows you to start at multiple trailheads, has 3 different viewpoints, and allows you to adjust how many km you want to complete.More

Located near the small town of Tappen in the Shuswaps, this hike leads you to views over Tappen and Salmon Arm. The trail can either be 8km return or as short as 2km depending on how far your vehicle can make it up the FSR.More
Side note, if you accidentally leave food scraps beside you with a dog...they might not be there anymore.

It is a 12km (one way) easy hike that has 18 trestles and 2 tunnels. If 24 km return is a bit, go to at least km 6 (12km return) for the best views or in the first 4 km (8km return) you will pass 8 trestles and 2 tunnels.
You will have to drive around 7km up a logging road and winter driving experience is recommended (4x4 was not needed when we went).

Amazing scenery!
-
Janel Coe It sure is!
-
Those trestles are amazing. We bet the view is that much better.
-
Tourism Nicola Valley - Merritt BC It is amazing anytime you go!
-
Super cool adventure and we are not talking the weather.
-
I am pretty sure the Kettle Valley Rail Trail is part of the Trans Canada Trail, so with any luck we'll be hiking through there this year on our way More ...

Sonya Richmond Yes, I do think you walk through it! It is absolutely stunning whenever you go! But it will be super busy in the summer

Did a sunrise hike on New Years Day but the sun didn't show up and it was -18C out and I thought it would be a great idea to attempt to make breakfast on my little hiking stove (after about 40 mins with a little bit of hot water and freezing cold hands, I will just stick to eating breakfast before and bringing hot coffee with me instead. I will keep that for a little bit warmer days). I gave it a 0/10 recommendation
but still got a stellar view in!

Gotta say, you look WAY happier than me in the snow and cold!
-
Sarah Stewart I quite enjoy the snow and I'm trying to get out as much as possible!
-
Melanie Adair Awesome! I don't love the cold but I'm definitely am trying harder this year!
-
LOL. 0/10 recommendation. That is funny. It has to be at least a 1 with that smile.
-
EH Canada Marketing Group That smile was before I attempted to cook
-
I should clarify, the 0/10 recommendation is attempting to make breakfast in -18C, not the hike part
-
Love it!
-
No sure I could trek in that much snow and cold! You are a better person than I!

I've seen way too many of them left on trails around the world. Mine was $20 and I purchased it 3 years ago and it has been through a lot.

Thanks! I know some of those items are already expensive so you might as well get the most out of them.
