Last year over winter break my husband and I hiked into Myra Bellevue Provincial Park with sleds and our two kids in tow and spent a couple of hours zooming down snow-covered trails normally used for hiking.

Tasty treats, pure relaxation, and a trendy downtown winery. If I could spend my days in Kelowna doing this every day I would.

When you think of Kelowna a few world-famous traits come to mind such as wine tours, fun in the sun, and orchards. But did you know that Kelowna is also home to some of the best LGBT2Q+ shows in BC?

Fall is a beautiful time of year in the Okanagan Valley. Imagine a walk surrounded by colourful trees and splashes of red, orange and yellow leaves.

Kelowna is Canada’s fittest city and also home to one of the world’s fittest athletes, Brent Fikowski.

In a few short weeks the trees will change, the leaves will go to rest, and the crispness of fall will be in full effect. My favourite photographic subjects (this time of year) are the golden larch trees that surround Myra Canyon and the beautiful trestles!

I’m a professional mountain biker and I live and regularly train in Kelowna. Welcome to my stomping grounds!

When it comes to hiking in West Kelowna, there are five trails that stand out for their spectacular, breath-taking views of the Okanagan Valley or stunning waterfalls.

With all that water and all those mountains, finding ways to put yourself out there, test your mettle and push the limits is just called fun and easy exercise in Kelowna.

Spark your family's fitness routine by taking everyone hiking in Kelowna! The following list has information on some area trails that are easy enough for most families to conquer and a few of them are even stroller-friendly.
