This sunset was from last week but it was absolutely stunning. Saskatchewan has spectacular sunsets but I'll give BC some credit for this one!

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!-
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

Gorgeous views.

Janel Coe The first time I went, I wasn't as impressed by the second time was amazing!

Finding gnomes? I'm hooked!

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!

-
Melanie Adair I never have...but will someday, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Janel Coe it's super easy, just remember to walk with your legs a little bit further apart

Cannot wait to dig our snowshoes out and go for an adventure.

Wonderful!

Looks like fun and a great leg workout too!

A quick video of Twin Lakes hike, located in Cherryville, BC. The Okanagan doesn't have 'quite' the mountains like the rest of BC but you get a glimpse of them here!

Enjoy walking across the suspension bridge (which really bounces) or along the treetops. There is also a cliff walk and activities to keep the young ones busy.
