Knox Mountain Park rises directly from downtown Kelowna and provides amazing views of Okanagan Lake and Kelowna.

The beauty of Knox Mountain is that it really is a "choose your own adventure" type of place. There is a road that goes all the way to the top, so you can be as lazy as you would like. Hiking from the bottom parking lot to the top takes around an hour, and is well worth it for the views that you get all the way up.

There are several trails on the way up, but my favourite is the Pavilion trail that starts at the lower parking lot, and you follow the signs all the way to the pavilion at the tip top of the mountain. Amazing views await!

Hike Knox Mountain

Beautiful View Of Kelowna

Nice easy hike close to the city. You can drive up to near the top if desired. You can see the whole valley up there.

Hike to Trowbridge Falls

Canada / Trowbridge Falls Trailhead

Trowbridge Falls is a nearby city park and a favorite among the locals and they say it's haunted too! During the summer months cool off in the water and in winter cross country ski.

Hike to Elk Falls, B.C.

Canada / Elk Falls Parking Lot

Once you park, you'll walk along the tracks roughly northeast-ish and then cross over the tacks. The trail marker is shown at the parking lot to the falls, where you can enjoy some wooden carvings.

Hike to Lillian Lake and Galatea Lakes

Canada / Galatea Trailhead

Make the trek down Hwy. 40 (about 33 km’s) to the trail head - Galatea Day Use Area. It’s very easy to find, as this is one of Kananaskis most popular day hikes.
