Located on a beautiful scenic route in the Okanagon area. There are several bird sanctuaries and wildlife refuges about. We also happened to see a Mama Bear and her cub on the way here. Right nearby less then a kilomter away you can also see the NRC Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory which is an amazing sight and provides tours. Please check there listing for hours.
