British Columbia, Canada - Places to visit

What sort of things do you like to see? The Okanagan is a beautiful area, fills up fast in the summer so you'll have to start looking for a spot asap.

What do you like? Plenty of golfing, boating and fishing. If you have kids you won't be able to tear them away from the beaches.:B Lots of wine tours if you are into that sort of thing. Walking trails are plentiful, the Kettle Valley Railway line is a real treat with the trestles and tunnels.
Take highway 33 to Rock Creek, west on 3 to Osoyoos then back to Kelowna. It is a pleasant day outing with plenty of roadside fruit stands and good places to stop for lunch. Enjoy the journey.

We live in B.C. and are blessed to live in a wonderful area.

To get you started take a look at this Destination British Columbia

Have fun!

If you golf, wine, water ski, fish and eat fruit..yep, Okanagan is wonderful. Having said that...the Cariboo is cowboy/horse country. The Kootenays have mountains and wildflife...both of which you will see anyway.

Just an aside..Okanagan weather can be pretty hot.

What direction are you planning on driving to the Kelowna area, and what way are you planning on heading home? There are a few options that will allow you to see much more than just the Okanogan Valley ( Kelowna area)

When we used to vacation in Vernon we used to go to places like the O'Keeferanch, Okanagon game farm and of course the lake itself. Also check out Kalamalka lake. It has al sorts of greens and blues that seem to change position, its pretty cool.

Not sure if any of this is still there, its been quite a few years since I've been there.

Osoyoos is one of my favourite places in BC, but the overall Okanagan Valley is beautiful too, something for everyone.

I prefer to stay here:

Staff is friendly, park is clean, lake is right there, restaurant up top with a winery, lots of access to numerous things to do, the price is pretty decent for what you get. We make it a yearly ritual, especially with our little one now.

And let's not forget the coast.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback. We have decided to stay a week, so far, at a farm/motor home park in Kelowna and then on to Vancouver and Vancouver Island. It all looks great.
