Trail Details
Layer Cake Mountain, Kelowna's scenic masterpiece, offers a memorable 1-hour ridgeline hike. Its gentle incline and modest elevation gain make it accessible for most, yet the trail requires a discerning eye, often blending seamlessly into the surroundings. The most reliable guide is the cliff's edge as there is no signage and the path is marked by usage only. Treat the cliffside as a natural compass, directing your journey. But caution is advised to maintain a safe distance. As...

Expected time (solo): 4 hr
Expected time (group): 5 hr 30 min
Difficulty: Difficult

This long loop hike takes you north of the trestles following a scenic route through Myra Canyon.
The trail takes about four to five hours and follows the perimeter of the park entailing several lookout points and views overlooking the canyon and Kelowna. The first 1.5 to 2 hours is a very steady but moderate ascent until the Bellevue Access fork, after which the trail plateaus and begins its descent.
There is one creek crossing within the first hour of hiking, but then it is non-existent until...

In 2014, Kelowna Mountain was a resort being developed just beyond Kettle Valley. The resort was still incomplete, but the grounds were open to the public for a fee. While this was not technically a hike, it still made for a unique walk around Kelowna's suspension bridges.There had been a number of issues with the RDCO and the Kelowna Mountain development, and visitors were encouraged to double-check that access was...

Mount Keogan

Distance: 7.66 km (round-trip)
Elevation gain: 459 m
Expected time (solo): 2 hr
Difficulty: Average
Dogs: On-Leash
Road access: Paved

From the signed trailhead, the path eases through open forest before tilting quickly onto semi-open, south-facing slopes. The tread is well-worn with occasional junctions (generally signed), weaving between ponderosa pine and pockets of sagebrush and antelope-brush grassland as views start to open toward the valleys below.
After an initial climb, the singletrack joins and crosses old two-tracks that criss-cross the mountain’s flanks—the local trail network includes routes known as DogTown and...

Carmi

Distance: 11.9 km (round-trip)
Elevation gain: 376 m
Expected time (solo): 2 hr 45 min
Difficulty: Easy
Route type: Loop

Enjoy a saunter through the landscape up at Carmi which may one day become fully logged. There are some pretty frequent maps available, but due to the sheer number of unlisted side trails, I suggest taking our GPS map. Overall, a very cute meander with only one semi-decent viewpoint.
