In 2025, visiting friends in Kelowna, British Columbia, I saw the Knox Mountain via Apex Trail listed #1 for the city on AllTrails.

Back again in 2026 for a reunion, we did plenty of day hiking.

Early morning I climbed Mount Knox Summit, enjoying the vista.

Of course we did a number of walks on the lovely Okanagan Lake waterfront.

We got a close-up view of an Osprey nest.

Most often, however, were a number of day hikes through Knox Mountain Park.
