Nice little hiking trail in OK Falls with lots of native cactus around.











Some old core samples left over from the mining operation in Okanagan Falls BC.





Native opuntia cactus in OK Falls BC.

Multiple trails, almost all of which connect up. Mule Deer and Big Horn Sheep commonly seen (scan the hilltops for the sheep). We also saw a Black Bear one spring day. There is a dirt track turning off to the left that leads to a small quarry lake. A nice route is to turn right just as you leave the parking area, onto a dirt track that winds up past two small lakes and then back down to the valley. If you follow the valley trail to where it starts to slope down toward Skaha Lake, there is a trail winding up to the left that takes you up to fantastic views for a lunch stop. From there, the trail continues on up the mountain to the big antenna, or you can skip that and loop around and down back to the car parking area. Beautiful in the spring time with the Arrowleaf Balsamroot and Big Sage in bloom.

Yes lots of different trails. I'll definitely have to go back and explore it some more one day. Beautiful place!
