Penticton, Biking

Yes! It's true! Spring is almost here and it's not even March. Well, at the moment there's a bit of snow falling, but the day before that we were +8C, which is almost t-shirt weather at this time of year. Today we had a couple from Holland who wanted to go mountain biking on the world-famous Kettle Valley Railway. With the dip in temperatures we suggested doing a hike on the trail instead. The added bonus is that they'll feel more compelled to stop and enjoy the amazing views of Okanagan Lake. Even at this time of year the views are breath-taking. We live in paradise!

Kids jumping off the huge rocks along the shore of Kootenay Lake, around 10 kms south of Crawford Bay. The lake is crystal clear and nice and warm, in spots. What a rush!

View from the top of the Mountain Range, near Crawford Mountain. View is of Kootenay Lake. You could see the ferry going across every so often. It was a very steep, long hike, but the gorgeous view was worth every step!

At the end of our week-long vacation in B.C., we drove to Deep Cove, a
small, picturesque waterfront town with one short "Main Street" lined
with shops and a few restaurants. After exploring the shoreline and
sampling the town's playground with our 3-year-old daughter, we got
daring and decided to take her out for her first ride in a kayak,
available for rental from a waterfront shop. We paddled through the
cove and into the fjord's deeper waters, marveling at mountains that
emerge from the water's edge, reaching straight for the clouds. Our
daughter was a little nervous, but the experience made us all the more
sad that this would be our final few hours in B.C.
