Trail Overview

A beautiful scenic trail with views over the city of Vernon continuing past King Edward Lake. Microwave Tower Trail leads to the summit with a spectacular view on the Okanagan Valley and Kalamaka Lake. This trail is moderately challenging with loose rocks and washouts. This trail has a gate that is closed seasonally. The trail is not accessible in the winter due to snowdrifts and access to the road gets plowed in.
