The North Okanagan
A Scenic Landscape That Must Be Viewed By All
 The North Okanagan is definitely a place to stop and spend some time on any visit to this region of British Columbia. There are so many activities available and the scenery of the area is outstanding!
This area may not get as much attention as the South and Central Okangan do, but you need to experience just a short time here and you will fall in love with it. The area is surrounded by history and culture. The cities and towns here are some of the oldest in the entire Okanagan. This part of the Okanagan valley is my favourite. Let me take you on a stroll throughout this region and you can discover for yourself exciting and interesting things to do. Visit a cheese factory and watch cheese being made through a viewing area. Browse through the store and sample some of the delicious varieties of cheeses they have on display. Or just relax and enjoy lunch in a old fashioned relaxing atmosphere. View the gorgeous "lake of many colours" at a roadside stop. Unbelievable and spectacular scenery to say the least!Stop by the historic O'keefe Ranch and see one of the oldest structures in the North Okanagan. Spend the day and bring the whole family to enjoy all of the exhibits here.There are several events throughout the year that bring tourists and locals together in a festive atmosphere. I'll fill you in on all the exciting details! And so much more.. It really is an outstanding area of the Okanagan. By now you have probably begun to realize how much I love this place. I am sure that you will fall in love with it too! From top notch skiing and snowboarding in the mountains at Silver Star Ski Resort to enjoying the beaches in the valley bottom, there are plenty of fun activities to engage in any of the four seasons in the North Okanagan.
