HIKING IN THE CENTRAL OKANAGAN

The Okanagan Valley is surrounded by three mountain ranges: the Columbia Mountains to the east, the Cascade Mountains to the south, and the Coastal Mountains to the west. Within the valley are several lakes, of which Okanagan Lake is the largest. Thus, there are many opportunities to see beautiful views, and hiking and biking are the best ways to do this.
