Bring a good pair of runners or hiking boots and a pack for your water and a snack. This is a local treasure. A medium hike will get you to the top where the views are breathtaking. You can see Okanagan, Woods, and Ellison (or as the locals call it “Duck”) Lakes. A must do for sure if you like hiking. It takes maybe an hour and a bit to reach the top......depending on how many breaks you take to soak in the views. A close 10 minute drive from us.
