Visit the Okanagan Valley

“I met up with my guide, Ed from Monashee Adventure Tours, and as we departed Kelowna, we cycled over remodeled trestles (long wooden bridges) and through tunnels once used by old steam engine trains. Ed told me tales of pioneers, early settlers, and First Nations history as we went. [...] I found the experience of riding a bike over these long wooden trestles which were once steam engine tracks to be a highlight of my trip.”

“But the week I spent there earlier this spring, travelling from Kelowna to Penticton to Osoyoos and back, made it apparent how optimistic and vibrant the region remains—and how ready they are to welcome visitors back to the valley. Every beach boardwalk and restaurant patio was buzzing with couples, kids and friend groups into the well-lit evenings, with the odd bachelorette party or two.”
