Kelowna: Guided Hike on Knox Mountain and Okanagan Lake Views

Discover Kelowna’s natural beauty on a relaxed 2.5-hour guided hike at Knox Mountain, the city’s most iconic outdoor landmark. Designed for beginner to intermediate hikers, this scenic experience combines fresh air, gentle trails, and breathtaking views over Okanagan Lake and the surrounding valley. Led by a friendly local guide, you’ll follow carefully selected paths while learning about the mountain’s landscape, wildlife, and history. Walk through fragrant Ponderosa pine forests, native bunchgrass and sagebrush terrain, and—depending on the season—hillsides dotted with vibrant wildflowers, including the bright yellow Okanagan sunflowers of spring. Along the way, hear how ancient glaciers shaped the Okanagan Valley and created the sweeping panoramas visible from Knox Mountain today. The experience also shares meaningful stories about the Syilx/Okanagan people’s connection to this land, together with insights into Kelowna’s early settlement years, offering a deeper cultural and natural perspective. With a comfortable pace, small-group atmosphere, and plenty of photo opportunities, this guided hike is a memorable way to experience Kelowna from above.
