Andrea and I were in Kelowna for Christmas time and had a bit of spare time to get out for a hike. The go to for a lot of people in Kelowna is a quick walk up Knox Mountain. I’d been up many times in my youth, but I never knew that the summit everyone stops at is not the official high point. Andrea is always down for these types of quirky adventures so we decided on a hike to the top and a walk over to wherever this true summit resides.
We parked on at the bottom and followed one of a dozen trails up to the main view point and where most stop. From there we had a short walk through a nearby neighbourhood and then up a small ridge to the summit. The views were better from the main view point, but still a worthwhile visit. Our return just followed more random trails and we were back at the car in under an hour. A quick but fun half-day out.
