Grassi Lakes is an easy stroll that is good for families or those new to hiking along with being in close proximity to Canmore which makes for an easy outing.
Grassi Knob was a new trail to me, It starts right within the town limits and is a grueling climb to the top with beautiful 360-degree views.
Ribbons Falls is a longer hike but has a very gradual elevation and several picturesque waterfalls along the trail as well as some nice mountain views.
Knox Mountain offers a myriad of different routes but the Apex Trail is the common local workout trail that leads to a pavilion at the top.
Old Goat Glacier is not a highly traveled trail, likely due to the steepness of the middle pitch and the tricky footing along the edge of the glacial moraine.
Rummel Lake is one of our regular trails that never disappoints as it's a good workout without killing the lungs and has some great scenery.
Goat's Peak is located on the west side of Okanagan Lake between Peachland and West Kelowna and has panoramic views of Okanagan Lake and the surrounding mountains.
The Aberdeen Columns are a hidden gem not far from Vernon and are one of the most amazing geological structures I've ever seen.
Bluenose Mountain is close to Vernon and provides a good workout in a relatively short period of time with some amazing views of the surrounding area.
Spencer Creek is a great hike, so it was surprising that the only people on the trail were our group of sixteen on this particular day.
