Interior BC

It’s fitting, albeit increasingly rare, for a roots festival to stick to its roots.

Canada’s second largest ski area comes alive in the summertime, trading in the snow-white, powdery slopes, for lush green meadows and blankets of flowers that cover the alpine in a quilt of colour.

If you are a bike enthusiast like me, but perhaps a bit of a fair-weather biker (also like me), then biking the Kettle Valley Railway trail is something you need to put on your bucket list.

It’s easy to feel connected to nature when you’re standing amid lush, green hillsides covered in blooming alpine wildflowers in a rainbow of colours.

It is rare to find a concert venue that also boasts mountains, bike paths, hiking or picnicking among alpine flowers, fine and casual dining, shopping and golf all in one. 

When I asked Shara where we should meet for our interview, she said, “Why not at my house?

This year, festival-goers will be treated to Lady Antebellum, Big & Rich and Dierks Bentley, just several of more than 20 bands on three stages.

These short videos show showcase the adventures that await in Cranbrook. Nestled in the heart of the Kootenay Rockies there's something for everyone to enjoy.

“Breathe in . . . breathe out!” As we crest a small rise, I can hear my Mother’s voice from 30 years ago commanding me to take healthy lungs-full of the fresh mountain air.

The 16th Annual Sun Peaks Winter Okanagan Wine Festival has just passed, and as a first-timer to this festival, I can easily say, I’m impressed.

Wine tours. Festivals. Fine dining. Beaches. Watersports. Golf. Skiing. Biking. It’s impossible to name only a few of the reasons Kelowna is such a popular destination.
