Today is your day Boomer! Spring is sprung and hiking and mountain biking season is upon us! Lots of neat places to explore as the flowers come out and the weather improves. But did you hear the news about Vernon? The North Okanagan city has recently been named "Trails Capital of BC" and apparently features hundreds of kilometres of scenic and exciting trails for outdoorsy people like Boomers. One example is Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park which has the largest concentration of North Okanagan Cycling Society (NOCS) supported bike trails in the Vernon area. From entry-level trails for beginners, like Gingerly, to the spectacular views from the Lookout trail, the park has something to suit all riders. The 3,700-hectare park is also home to several hiking trails of varying difficulties. Hike up to the Turtle’s Head for breathtaking viewpoints of the lake and surrounding areas. It’s also home to the oldest known living tree in the Okanagan, a twisted, gnarly old Juniper perched on a cliff. And if you have never seen Kalamalka Lake up close, it is a pristeen blue colour with a very clear image. Just beautiful!! Check out the whole area Boomers. Let's get outside, enjoy nature, and exercise. Cheers!
