Vacationing to the region in early September. Where is best to stay?
We are going to be coming to the Okanagan for 3 or 4 days during summer. We will probably do an Airbnb. Which locations are best? Osoyos, Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton I'm unsure where is best to stay and has the best spots? We are looking for a quieter type scenery.
🚶♀️ Enjoy the Trail
The KBR trail alongside the ruins is beautiful and well-maintained for a pleasant walk.
Kamloops?
Hi! I’m visiting east Kelowna with my daughter. I’m debating a day trip tomorrow (literally arguing with my own self). My options, so far, are drive south to Osoyoos or Penticton or head north to Kamloops. My daughter has significant medical issues so nothing beyond a 4k hike…
