Incredible Skiing

Only 30 minutes to Silver Star Ski Resort. Equipped with a new Gondola that gets you to the top in minutes. Great skiing and snowboarding with great restaurants in the village. In the summer it has the best downhill mountain biking around. People come from all over to ride and hike the trails.

Athletes travel from all over to experience this incredible cross country nordic track. Beautiful scenery and just 25 minutes from our place. Caroline is an avid cross country skier and would love to tell you about all the great nordic trails that they have.

There are two great beaches away from the crowds. Takes a bit to walk down to the water from the parking lot but worth the walk. Picnic tables, clear water, and great swimming

Head back to the past of what it was like at the turn of the century. A ol' western town with tours, wagon rides, candy store,and beautiful heritage homes.

This is a nice 9 hole course that is quite forgiving. Great for those wanting to experience a larger course yet challenging for the regular golfer. Only about 1/2 hour drive and located just off the highway in Armstrong.

A great Par 3 course just down the road. Sharpen up your short game or go with that person who is learning golfing without the intimidation of a large course. Just want to hit a bucket of balls? They have a driving range.

You can park at the Red Gate and come full circle back to your car in about an hour. More than likely tho you will stop at Juniper or Jade Bay and go for a swim. You can also park at their huge parking lot and a short walk down to the beaches to enjoy that crystal clear water of Kalamalka Lake.

This is an incredible beach if you don't mind the hike into it. Probably a good 1/2 hour walk or a short bike ride. You would park at the gate and walk thru the meadows down to a beach that doesn't see a whole lot of people. Well worth the hike down but bring a lunch, drinks, and your bathing suit.

Walking and Hiking

What can we say? The Rail Trail is our newest walking/biking trail that has just opened up over the past couple of years. The CN Rail was bought up and now locals and visitors can enjoy walking alongside Kalamalka Lake. We recommend parking at Kekuli Provincial Campsite and start your walk from there as parking may be easier and you would miss some of the congestion of cars and people.

Just a short walk from our house. Go to the right from our house and walk up the road until you get to a path between the houses. Enjoy the Meadow with park benches to sit & watch the wildlife, or views of Kal Lake. At the fork of the path you can go left and hike up Middleton Mtn and enjoy an hour hike with more views of Kal Lake and the valley.

The trail up the mountain has just been redone and makes for an easier walk up the mountain. Once there you have 360' views of the valley as you explore the trails. Just up from McKergow Meadows and just cross Mt. Ida and you are at the beginning.
