Okanagan Valley

The Okanagan region is a small yet diverse region. Its western boundary lies east of the forested Cascade Mountains. Its southern edge travels east along the US border toward the Monashee Mountains and through the driest section in all of British Columbia. Its northern border loops around rolling hills.

Three modern cities, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton and four major lakes are located in its center corridor. During the summer months, the beach resorts and the sandy beaches within this corridor are almost as crowded as Waikiki. A few are tucked away for privacy.
