THE DEVIL’S WOODPILE ~ STONE CITY - THE
GIANT CLEFT are just some of the unique rock formations you
see while hiking the CATHEDRAL RIM TRAIL. Ar 8500 feet
above sea level, over 30,000 square miles of Southern British
Columbia and Washington State are in your view. After a day of
hiking, return to one of Canada's highest full service lodges (6800
ft. elev.) and enjoy the hor tub, a good meal and a relaxing
evening around the fireplace.

This summer, guests of the lodge are able to join photographer
ROY LUCKOW for one of his scheduled photography work-
‘shops or to learn to paint in watercolor with resident artist

GEOFF WATKINSON.

wilderness areas offer mountain
biking experiences that will make
you want to come back for more.

Much of the region can also be
explored on horseback, if that's
more your style. Or try your hand
ata more vertical hike ~- rock
climbing enthusiasts will find
many challenges here.

If a sport that allows you to
plant your feet firmly on the
ground is more to your liking,
check out one of the many golf
courses in the region.

And that only covers some of
the on-land opportunities for
exploring the outdoors,

Hit the water and you can drift
in a houseboat, paddle a canoe,
waterski behind a speed boat or
catch a few fish. You can kayak
through rapids, catch the wind with
a windsurfer or sail on the open
water.

The region offers lakes galore,
with Swan Lake, Mabel Lake,
Kalamalka Lake, Osprey Lake,
Skaha Lake and many others —
not to mention Okanagan Lake
which spans most of the valley,
from Vernon, through Kelowna,
down to Penticton.

If you enjoy the water, the pos-
sibilities for fun are almost endless.
