Kalamalka Provincial Park
Kalamalka Provincial Park consists of a series of short to moderate length walking tracks. It also contains beaches such as Juniper Bay and Jade Bay, which are just short walks from the car park. They both make for a relaxing spot for a swim! Kalamalka Lake is well known for its awe inspiring colorings. This is due to the calcium carbonate or limestone concentrations in the water, warming and forming crystals, hence making for a great view!
Silverstar Mountain Resort
SilverStar Mountain resort is a 25 minute drive from The Laughing Llama. It is open for a range of activities in both Winter and Summer seasons. Be sure to check the opening dates for the relevant season!
Some Winter favourites are of course the skiing/snowboarding, as well as cross country skiing, ice-skating and tubing! Some summer favourites include hiking, biking, and scenic rides on the gondola.
Fruit Orchards
The Okanagan Valley is home to a great amount of British Columbias orchards. Davison Orchards as well as Peters U-pick orchards are both excellent options for getting amongst the orchard life! Head to either to pick your own fruits, some of which include cherries, peaches and apricots! Davison's orchard also offers farmhouse baking and products!
Wine tasting and tours
Similar to the orchards, The Okanagan is known for its amazing wineries. Who doesn't love a good wine tasting?! Cheers Okanagan Tours & Transport, and Mojo Wine Tours are two great options to get in on the action! Take the chance to sit back, relax, and sip some quality wines whilst soaking up the enriching views!
