About one-third of the way up there is a somewhat flat plateau to take a break and a picture with the lonely little pine tree. Across Okanagan Lake, on top of the mountain you can see the popular golf resort destination Predator Ridge, as well as the classy spa resort Sparkling Hills.

The Okanagan Valley can be a dry and hot place throughout the summer, but if you're lucky enough to visit in spring you will be treated to an array of colorful flowers and greenery. We hiked the trail at the end of April and got to enjoy nice spring flowers and decent temperatures.
