Visit Pane Vino along the way for some Italian pizza!

Knox Mountain Hike:

Many trails are available but the Apex Trail will get your heart pumping and give you the most stunning views of the Kelowna area. Paul’s Tomb trail is also stunning (and kid friendly). This trail gets crowded, so we like to do it early and finish it off with a coffee at Sprout Bread nearby. Their fresh sourdough is worth the stop also. At the base of this mountain, the beer scene has exploded in the past few years; you can easily do a self-guided walking beer tour. Our favorites include the Welton Arms, Jacknife Brewing (great pizza!), Rustic Reel (GF options), and Red Bird for their live music.

‍

Spion Kop Hiking Trails:

A short 10-minute drive will get you to The Lakes residential area. If you drive to the very end of the community, you can begin many trails there. The Spion Kop Summit offers remarkable views of Wood Lake and Okanagan Lake.
