                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take a trip to the Adra Historic Kettle Valley Railway Tunnel.</p>
<p>Now open after a restoration to make it safe for the public to visit.</p>
<p>The tunnel was constructed largely by hand in 1913-1914 for the Kettle Valley Rail system.</p>
<p>Located above Naramata BC Canada.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here's a few pictures of the Adra Tunnel. Enjoy. :)</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I checked out the Peachland to Goat’s Peak Park multi-use trail today.</p>
<p>I parked at the Goat's Peak area and walked up the road towards Peachland BC.</p>
<p>It's a 7 km trek to the Peachland area. The trail is new and officially opened this June 2025.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The views of Okanagan Lake are breath taking! Beautiful scenery!</p>
<p>If your thinking about hitting the trail I would highly recommend it. :)</p>
