Enderby Cliffs Hike<\/strong><\/h3>\n

North Okanagan Valley, BC<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In my country there is a mountain.<\/em><\/p>\n

In my country there is a river.<\/em><\/p>\n

Come with me.<\/em><\/p>\n

On one of the warm, first days of summer we climbed through lush forests to the bluffs high above the fertile northern Okanagan Valley near Enderby, BC.<\/p>\n

The northern tip of the Okanagan Valley is much more lush than the Southern Okanagan, which is desert; the ponderosa pines disappear and are replaced with Douglas fir, cedar and birch trees.\u00a0The dense forest provides much needed shade under the hot summer sun.<\/p>\n

The Enderby Valley is pretty close to paradise to me. The Shuswap River snakes through pastoral farm land, resembling \u00a0a scene from a Disney movie. The cliffs that surround the pastoral valley were once volcanoes and the valley is actually a 50 million year old lava field! If only there were a train through this valley\u2014I’d relocate in an instant\u2014I am a country girl at heart.<\/p>\n

Young kerchiefed hikers above <3 \u00a0We welcomed the forest shade but we had to keep up a steady pace for if we stopped, the mosquitos were on us like a flock of starving vampires.<\/p>\n

Our team of six hikers: my hubby and our two youngest daughters, my sister and niece. I hope you enjoy a few pictures from another gorgeous hike in the Okanagan.<\/p>\n
