WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 22, 6:00 PM
MISSION RIDGE PARK - KELOWNA
NOTE TO ALL: PLEASE SEE SPECIAL PARKING INSTRUCTIONS IN DIRECTIONS, BELOW!
Difficulty:
Mission Ridge Park - Kelowna is an easy 3.2 km, 109m elevation gain, lightly trafficked loop trail. The trail is primarily used for walking, running and biking, with beautiful views of the city, valley and lake (and sunset, if we're lucky and our timing is right). The trail borders several neighbourhoods in the Mission/Crawford area. It is very sandy and not appropriate for sandals. Although there is not a lot of elevation gain, it is through sand, so some may want to consider poles.
