Autumn in Kelowna, BC can be a beautiful time. Fall brings crunchy leaves, cool weather and the harvest season throughout the Okanagan Valley. Don’t let the change in weather fool you into thinking there’s nothing to do in the valley! As the scenery changes from green to yellow, and the mountain air becomes crisp, there are many fall activities for all to enjoy throughout the city of Kelowna.
Here are 5 autumn activities in Kelowna to suit any mood:
Campfire and S’mores
Visit Meadow Vista for some smokies and s’mores. Here you’ll have the opportunity to roast your s’mores, drink hot chocolate, enjoy a hot dog (veggie options available) and of course a wine tasting. This is a great way to support local businesses and enjoy the afternoon. To view full details and for available tickets click here!
Go for a Fall Hike
There’s nothing quite like the vibrant leaves against the bright blue sky. Take the afternoon to enjoy the fresh air and go for a walk or a hike. The Mission Creek Regional Park and Greenway is a beautiful area for a leisurely walk that is also accessible.
If you’re looking for something a bit more difficult, the hike continues to Scenic Canyon and Layer Cake Mountain. Be bear aware as a mama and cubs have been spotted along the trail this fall. Also be on the lookout for other wildlife and remember to always leave no trace behind other than your footprints.
