Added by John Entwistle

A quick and easy hike to an amazing waterfall just outside of Kelowna, British Columbia. Best to do in the spring, as that is when the water is at it's highest level!

Park in the cul-de-sac at Canyon Falls Court - Make sure you park in a spot you are allowed to park in, and don't block any driveways! Hike out to the sign for crawford falls, and head down into the canyon. Once you hit the creek, turn left and walk up along the creek towards the falls. You will hit the first falls which are impressive, but a quick scramble up to the second falls is definitely worth the effort!

Trail has been closed on and off. Trail was super easy except coming back up is difficult. Once you get to the 1st waterfall you can hike up to the left of the waterfall up the large rocks and follow trail to a 2nd waterfall that is way larger than the 1st one.

Located on Bellevue Creek, the trailhead to find these falls is hidden in suburbia. Take Gordon Drive to Dehart Road to Crawford Road to Westridge Road to Canyon Ridge Crescent and park on Canyon Falls near the fence.Follow that dusty trail into the canyon along the ridge. About 10 minutes on this trail you’ll see a steep path that descends to the lower falls, which is assisted by a series of ...

Hike Knox Mountain

The beauty of Knox Mountain is that it really is a "choose your own adventure" type of place. There is a road that goes all the way to the top, so you can be as lazy as you would like. Hiking from the bottom parking lot to the top takes around an hour, and is well worth it for the views that you get all the way up. There are several trails on the way up, but my favourite is the Pavilion trail t...

With many different walls to choose from, Skaha Bluffs is a phenomenal climbing area for any level of climber. The rock quality is nothing short of phenomenal, and you will learn to trust even the smallest of holds!Because Penticton is in the Okanagan Valley, it does get quite warm. Consider planning your trip for either spring or fall – it's just too hot to climb in the middle of the summer, w...

Spotted Lake Viewpoint

The Okanagan Highlands is home to a myriad of unique natural phenomena but nothing quite as otherworldly as Spotted Lake.Known to the Syilx People as Khiluk, or the "grandfather of lakes", it is a sacred place for healing and is said to contain 365 coloured spots, one for each day of the year. Scientifically speaking it is a saline endorheic alkali lake. The coloured amoeba-like pools are form...
