While not as challenging or as high as the peaks in the Canadian Rockies, Okanagan mountains still make for good outings and certainly can get the heart rate up. The dry landscape makes for great climbing and fewer mosquitoes. These are the summits I reached in a flurry of hiking when I first went to the Okanagan Valley to work in 2015/2016. I enjoyed Okanagan wine on quite a few of these summits, and now that I have moved to the Okanagan permanently, I take my friends to the tops of the best of these summits. The peaks below are sorted by altitude in meters.
