Day 34: Kelowna

·124 words·1 min

Whistler (BC) – Kelowna | 425 km

A true discovery: the northern route leading to Kelowna. We took a loop formed by Provincial Route 99 toward Cache Creek, and then the 97C, which is as impressive as ever. The first part of the journey is particularly wild, winding through countless indigenous reserves, mountain passes, lakes, and rivers. Wildlife is everywhere—bears, deer, and moose—which demands maximum concentration at the handlebars!

After that dose of adrenaline, we spent the afternoon exploring the vineyards. The evening concluded beautifully with a gourmet meal and a superb bottle of wine at the magnificent Quail’s Gate estate. Surrounded by vines and overlooking Lake Okanagan, we watched the mountains turn from orange to red, then to purple. A simply memorable evening.
