How to get out Penticton
Go alpine skiing/boarding in the winter or mountain biking in the summer at Apex Alpine Mountain Resort. 33km (21 mi) west of Penticton. A small mountain with some of the best advanced terrain in the interior. From the Channel Parkway turn west on Green Mountain Road and follow 22km before turning right at the Apex Guest Ranch. Snow tires are recommended in the winter. Lifts run weekends in the summer for mountain biking (beginner to advanced) and hiking/sightseeing.
Go rock climbing at the Skaha lake bluffs.
Ride the Kettle Valley Steam Train or relax in the lush Ornamental Gardens in nearby Summerland. Fifteen minutes north of Penticton.
If you haven't had enough sun and heat, head 45 minutes south to Osoyoos where the average temperature is even hotter, and wander through Canada's only true desert.
Take in a great Farmers Market, Saturdays from June through September.
Okanagan Beach (Sunset Strip) offers para-gliding, canoe, boat and bike rentals.
