What is a cedar forest doing in Kelowna BC?

Kelowna is a dry arid area and you wouldn't expext to find cedars growing.

You can find cedar trees in specific, moist areas such as Mill creek regional park. and scenic canyon park. And a few other places around Kelowna.

Here's a few pctures of some big cedars in Mill creek park.

Adra Historic KVR Tunnel

Take a trip to the Adra Historic Kettle Valley Railway Tunnel.

Now open after a restoration to make it safe for the public to visit.

The tunnel was constructed largely by hand in 1913-1914 for the Kettle Valley Rail system.

Located above Naramata BC Canada.

The tunnel is 483 meters long and has lights activated when you walk through the tunnel. Also has some cool train sounds for the full experience. There are a couple close parking areas. One is right by the tunnel and the other is about a 10 minute walk. You can also bike there from any of the parking areas along the KVR.

Here's a few pictures of the Adra Tunnel. Enjoy. :)

Peachland to Goat’s Peak Park multi-use trail

I checked out the Peachland to Goat’s Peak Park multi-use trail today.

I parked at the Goat's Peak area and walked up the road towards Peachland BC.

It's a 7 km trek to the Peachland area. The trail is new and officially opened this June 2025.

I walked for about 2 km and then turned around. One day I will walk the entire 14 km round trip. excellent for biking, especially if you have a ebike because as you can see from the pictures it's all uphill and the way back to the parking lot.

The views of Okanagan Lake are breath taking! Beautiful scenery!

If your thinking about hitting the trail I would highly recommend it. :)

Well I just planted my needle palm that I grew from seed.

It was time to plant it and see if it survives the Kelowna BC winters!

Rhapidophyllum hystrix. The needle palm, is a palm native to coastal margins
of the subtropical eastern Gulf and south Atlantic states of the United States.

The most cold hardy palm that is rumored to survive temps around -26c (-15F)

We'll see how it goes. Here's some pictures of my needle palm in Kelowna BC Canada. :)
