Tripping Through the Okanagan

Helmcken falls, Wells Grey Provincial Park, B.C

I've been working with the great people over at Trazzler again, this time trapsing through the beautiful Okanagan valley in southern British Colombia. 10 trips, 10 different things to do while you pinch yourself and wonder if you really are in the frozen Great White North.

First Stop

- Mexican food in Oroville, Washington
- Then a bit of Iron Man
- Desserting on some ancient culture in Osoyoos, British Colombia
- Inland Sea Monsters on Rattlesnake Island, B.C!!!
- Getting some skiing in Apex
- Houseboating in the houseboat capital in Sicamoose, B.C
- Making Niagra seem minature in Wells Grey Provincial park near Clearwater, B.C
