Sightseeing

Some of my favorite things to do and see in Penticton and Area.
View the icon White Penticton sign on the mountain up close and personal. The lower view point is an easy 2 minute walk from the parking area. See the Okanagan valley spread before you in all of it's glory. For the more adventurous, it's well worth the steep but short walk to the top view point for stunning 360 degree view of the valley, and the HUGE white Penticton letters on the mountainside below/

This wonderful gift shop and ice creamery is a must visit. They have a wonderful selection of work by local artisans, including pottery, fruit jams, jellies, and syrops, locally roasted coffee, knit items. Enjoy your ice cream (trust me, a single is PLENTY big enough!) while taking in the sights and smells of rural, agricultural Summerland. Listen carefully and you may hear the whistle of the summerland steam train, who stops just down the road at the iconic trestle. Or if you are feeling like you want to earn those creamy calories, why not plan to ride from Penticton's West Bench, along the West KVR. Your ride will afford you stunning, panoramic views from high above highway 97. Keep an eye out for the wild horse herds, who frequent the hills around this trail. You're journey will end at the iconic train trestle bridge, which is just down the road from Summerland Sweets.

This is where the legend started! Take a scenic 25 minute drive along windy East Side Road to OK falls.

Essentials

groceries, bits and pieces that you forgot, DvD rentals etc
Just a few minutes up Government St, this smaller hometown grocery store is well known for it's excellent customer service and smaller portions available in the meat department, perfect for singles, couples and vacationers. The bakery offers a wide variety of home cooked meals and take away gourmet sandwiches. The Produce department carries the most local fruits and vegetables of any grocery store. I love this store for it's small size- I can quickly be in and out in less than 20 minutes with everything I need.

Entertainment & Activities

Offering the only indoor climbing wall in Penticton, this company offers many classes for both adults, children and families, in both rock climbing indoors and outdoors at the famous Skaha Bluffs, Bike tours and Kayaking activities. My personal favorite is the Kayak and Naramata winery tour, where you Kayak along the beautiful east side of Okanagan lake to lovely 3 mile beach in Naramata, where you are picked up, the boats are loaded and you are driven back through stunning Naramata vineyards, stopping at three local wineries for tastings.
