Thompson Okanagan Vacation Guide 2011 - (Page 44)
Colourful markets, ripe vintages, alpine meadows and historic sites in a surprising blend
The Similkameen River brings life to the dry grasslands of the Similkameen Valley where cattle graze, fruit and vegetables thrive and vineyards flourish. Visit a roadside fruit stand and stock up for a picnic. Tour the new and growing wine region and sample local fare at area restaurants. Long ago, First Nations discovered rich mineral deposits in the mountainsides and mining was key to the region’s development. Explore this history and geology at a museum, mine site or interpretive centre. Then get outdoors and hike, cycle, fish and camp.
