It is situated in the beautiful community known as Lake Country, British Columbia. There are several ways to enter including entry points at Carr’s Landing and Oyama along the scenic Pelmewash Parkway, where you will hike right under the highway through a gigantic culvert.

Hiking Trail
There are a few different trails of varying difficulty and the hike up to the summit is typically not an easy one and requires some good endurance. The hiking trail takes you through a combination of typical Okanagan Valley grasslands and ponderosa pine forests. At around the halfway point of the hike, you will reach a clearing that has a wooden bench but from here the hike gets a lot harder. So if you are satisfied with the halfway views then make your way back down but if you’re feeling energetic still then head up to the summit. Once on top take in the incredible views of the Okanagan Valley looking towards Kelowna.
