Osoyoos, British Columbia: Canada's Warmest City
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Town of Osoyoos, Osoyoos Lake, Gyro Beach, USA/ Canada Border, Fruit stands, Desert Centre, Winery and Spotted Lake in this video.
We start our South Okanagan adventure in Osoyoos, British Columbia, Canada. Our first stop is Gyro beach on Osoyoos Lake. This is said to be Canada's warmest lake in Canada's warmest town. We then transport to the USA/ Canada border. From there we take you to a typical fruit-stand on the area, full of peaches, apples and berries. Our hottest stop was at the Desert Centre. Did you know that this region is Canada's only desert? We walked the boardwalk and learned all about desert ecology. Then it was wine time. We chose a small family run winery. Blue Sky was a fun stop with great wine and fantastic personal service. Our last stop is a Spotted Lake. This is a mineral lake and is part of the aboriginal heritage for it's healing properties .

I never knew that Canada had a desert landscape like this. Truly fascinating. Loved this video.
Canada's landscape is so diverse. We will have another video up this summer from the desert. -Shawna🍁
Me either! Love being Canadian but Ive always thought about I wish we had what Arizona has hahah who knew!
Thanks for the video , best Osoyoos vid yet ...lot's of info , keep on rolling
Thank you
You two make a very lovely couple. Thank you for the tour. I live in Vancouver but I'm considering moving to the Okanagan for a couple years for a change of scenery. I work online so finding employment is thankfully not a concern.
It's a great place to live and play; we love living in the Okanagan. We have several videos from around the Okanagan in this play list: ua-cam.com/play/PLvzwtu28DXXZoSlBCX4HK-jicBgXN98-m.html&si=1tkcS32MrdqQGaXf I hope you can make the move.
Nicely done you two. Thanks for including Bloopers. Keep doing these vids. They are great.
Thank you 🥰 for the kind words. We try to end with bloopers, you know go out with a bang. lol We have a drone now so our videos in the spring will have a bit more dimension. We have a silly holiday special coming out this week then we start our National Parks series: Jasper, Banff and Yoho parks. -Shawna🍁
I haven't been to Osoyoos yet, but just added it to the list of must see places to visit. Thanks for showing us this Canadian gem!
I'm so glad we helped you find a place to visit 😊 Thanks for watching -Shawna🍁
I used to spend summers here as a kid. I can believe it's the warmest city! The lake itself is quite shallow so it stays warm. You can walk out quite a ways into the lake before it gets too deep. I haven't been to the Desert Center - Thanks for the tour!
Hey, thanks for watching. We had fun spending the day, wish we had more time and covid wasn't around. The desert walk was fun and very hot, we were glad to sit in the shade stops along the way.-Shawna🍁
Awesome! Can’t wait to visit.
Thank you. We hope you visit. We will have another Osoyoos video out this summer.-Shawna🍁
What a beautiful town! Would love to visit there this summer if the COVID restrictions ease. Greetings from Unionville, Ontario
I'm hoping they ease for the summer like last year. We'd like to go back to Osoyoos and make another video from there. Stay safe-Shawna🍁
@@PortlyTravellers Thanks Shawna!
Great video! I love your vibe/video style. Really fun and relaxed.
Thanks for watching and the kind words.-Shawna🍁
Loved the video bless you guys, look forward visiting osoyoos
Thank you 😊 We have another Osoyoos video coming out later this summer. -Shawna🍁
These are very helpful for people who are traveling great job you two!
Thank you. Hopefully we will all be travelling more soon.-Shawna🍁
THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO!
Thank you 😊-Shawna🍁
Awsome very informative..... you guys rock
Thank you 😊
Beautiful couple.
Thank you 😊
What an informative and well presented picture of this beautiful area. Too hot for me to ever visit in the summer though. I have a childhood dream of visiting Canada so the country itself is definitely on my list. I love your natural and fun way of communicating. Love these videos. Always a treat. Stay safe and keep smiling. ❤️ 🎥 🙏 🙋♀️ 🎄
Hi Oma, You always have the nicest things to say❤. It was too hot for us too lol. It took us several weeks of planning and checking the weather to actually film. We wanted to go on a 'cooler' day not a 40+C day. We did have fun there, we had a good laugh at doing a desert walk in August. In January we start our Canadian Rockies series from Jasper, Banff and Yoho national parks. Stay safe and thanks for the support 🎄-Shawna🍁
Osoyoos looks beautiful, we can see why it's popular with tourists in the summer. That's awesome you can walk right up to the border, definitely best not to cross it though, don't want to get in trouble. The desert centre looks pretty awesome too, we would totally check it out if we were in the area.
Osoyoos is huge with tourists, even during covid this summer they were fully booked. We had fun finding safe places to explore. Thanks for watching-Shawna🍁
That is a true desert but not the only part of that desert. Ashcroft and Lillooet as well as Kamloops are the main desert with the Okanagan as the secondary. Temps in Ashcroft reach up to 50 c in the summer as well as Lytton and Lillooet. Those three places are the hottest in Canada.
Very true. Thanks for sharing ☺️
Will visit osoyoos next month
It's a great place to take a vacation. The cherries and peaches will be ready next month. I hope you enjoy it there.-Shawna🍁
Very well & proffesionally done video, I even shared it on my face book page, I am a frequent visitor to this beautiful Osoyoos town each summer & Autumn, to enjoy their fruit season, from Apricots, Cherries, Peaches, Grapes, Apples & Pears. I live in Vancouver, & Osoyoos is the place to visit during the hot summer days. Thank you & keep up the great job on many Canadian attraction areas.
Thank you for your support, kind words and for sharing our video. Our favourite time of year to visit Osoyoos is peach season. The sun ripened fruit is so juicy and sweet. Starting in January we are doing Jasper, Banff and Yoho national parks. And of course more of the Okanagan and BC through out the year. We plan on doing a Vancouver and area video next year too. Any hidden gems? Stay safe-Shawna🍁
Hi Khalid, we are looking a place to live for 6 months in Osoyoos, any recommendations?
@@luzern187 Hi, I don't really know a specific place to rent out for a 6 months period, but at this time of the year, still spring, fruit tree are in full blossoms, not too many tourists in the area as in the summer time, there for, you want find it too difficult to find a place, I alwayes stay in a Motel, during the Summer time & the Autom, Hotels & Motels are almost fully occupied, you can seek a help of a local Real Estate Agent to find a suitable place for rent, he knows better in this business. Have a good & enjoyable trip.
Hi, Hope you are keeping well! is that sunshine I see?! gorgeous area! love this, Thanks for sharing! Thanks so much for your support :)
Hi Fay & Dan. Yes Sunshine ☺, we live in 1 of the sunniest parts of Canada, Okanagan Valley. We are keeping well, all ready for Christmas 🎄. We appreciate your support, we love watching your channel. Dan is so good at editing and Fay is so funny and cute. -Shawna🍁
@@PortlyTravellers aw shucks guys :) xx
Nice video 🌿
Thank you.-Shawna🍁
Happy New year! 2021 YAY :) Thanks for your support :)
Happy New Years. Thank you for your support too -Shawna🍁
We spent a weekend there quite a few years ago. We didn’t see the spotted lake - that looks interesting
We were lucky that while we were there some local came by and talked to us about spotted lake. You can book a tour at the desert centre to go down to the waters edge and even try the water. Too bad we didn't have time for that.-Shawna🍁
Nice video, greeting from lebanon
Thank you from Canada 😊
Good canada good people
Thank you 😊
You will love Carcross and area. Close to Scagway, Cilkoot Trail, etc.
Great. We'd like to do a road trip up to the Yukon, thanks for the suggestions
hi guys i used to live there what a hot but cool place to live.. i lived near the grain wind mill
Hi thanks for watching. It is a cool place to live and so hot, especially this week. -Shawna🍁
It's very informative. You explained it well. Thanks for showing us around. The lake is very beautiful. Stay safe guys. Merry Christmas. Hope we can be friends here in YT. Subscribed here
Thanks for the kind words and your support. Merry Christmas and stay safe -Shawna🍁
Great job you two...well done...I’m a local.
Thank you! Any suggestions for our next visit?-Shawna🍁
@@PortlyTravellers if you come in nice weather visit the outlook point high above Oso on Anarchist Mtn on hwy 3.... also Nk Mip cultural centre on the east side of Oso and maybe take a drive along Black Sage Rd. Starts @Rd 22 and goes to Oliver on the east side. Lovely view of the valley and several wineries along the way. Sage pub has great food and vibe.
Thank you for the suggestions. They are added to our list -Shawna🍁
@@PortlyTravellers also check out the miniature railroad display in Industrial Park area...worth it.
That first lake looked gorgeous. The water was crystal clear. I was really surprised at the waves. I didn’t realise that lakes could be tidal. When was this filmed? The weather looked fantastic and made us rather jealous. Hope you are both well? Stay safe. David Clare and Tessie :-)
This was filmed in August, it was 37C that day. The desert walk almost killed us lol The lake was so clear, warm and beautiful. The waves are from wind blowing down the valley or it comes down the mountain 'mountain effect.' The mountain effect can make the water very turbulent, plus there were several speed boats zooming around. The breeze off the lake still helps with the hot dry air. Stay safe you 3 🥰 -Shawna🍁
I wanna go there so bad right now.
Hi Merle I hope you make it one day, it's so warm now. We have another video from Osoyoos coming up this summer-Shawna🍁
Not right now...
I think 💭 (maybe you guys can confirm) that the Osoyoos Desert 🏜️ is the northern most reaches of the Sonoran Desert 🌵 🏜️ 😅……only kidding 🐺✊🏆
Canada also has a another desert near Carcross. A small one, but just thought I would let you know.
Very interesting. We had to Google that; it's the smallest in the world. Carcross is definitely on our must see list now. Thank you.-Shawna🍁
the Carcross Desert is not a desert - it is called a desert because it looks like one - it is actually sand dunes from sand blown into dunes from a nearby glacier.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcross_Desert
Bloopers ☺😁
We do love a good bloopers reel. We get a good laugh from our bloopers. 🥰-Shawna🍁
@@PortlyTravellers 🥰☺
Go Canada
Ngl I was not expecting a desert considering we have one of the most coldest country in the world
Lol yea I think most people are like you. Canada is so big and diverse I think most people picture the Noth pole or the cold on the prairies. The southern west coast, so southern British Columbia is actually fairly warm. From no snow in winter to an actual desert with plus 40C summers. 😊 Thanks for watching and for your great comment (side note I had to Google ngl lol🤪)-Shawna🍁
Im planning on moving to osoyoos for the heat!!! Thanks for the video, helps so much. What do you guys think about living in osoyoos? Im 21 years old and I want to volunteer as a conservationist to presrrve osoyoos desert ecology. 😁
That sounds like a great plan. They need more people passionate about desert conservation. There is a big beach culture there too perfect for a young person. We had so much fun making this video we want to make another this year-Shawna🍁
@@PortlyTravellers Yes please do, I love your videos!
@@yogioasis4557 aww thank you😊 We have a drone now too for future videos
Volunteer at the Desert Centre...they cover it in the video. You’d love it ...lots of fun in summer...very quiet in winter. Accommodation is an issue. Very little available and getting very expensive. You might consider shared accommodation.
I want to come here
It's a beautiful place, I hope you make there.
Is it a good market of cooling and heating?
It will be 104 this weekend when I head down there.
So Hot, at least it's a dry heat and not too humid. Have a great time-Shawna🍁
Dude I just looked it it said its going to hit 111 by Tuesday
@Jay marin and it's not cooling off at night. I think i just saw the devil running down the street screaming 😱🥵😏
@@jesusmarin95 I see you know not Canadian weather. The only two major cities in the USA that reliably record more triple digit temperatures are Las Vegas and Phoenix. Put another way...some years, Osoyoos, Canada registers more triple digit days than every city in the USA except for Las Vegas and Phoenix.
@@jesusmarin95 the temperature went to 121 degrees in another part of British Columbia a place called Lytton, but just after this happened the town burnt down
How warm is this during the winter months? like January and february? ....
Mild for Canada. They get very little snow and are usually above -5C.
@@PortlyTravellers What? seriously?....Its paradise! I'm there! Find me a UPS or similar service that lets you have a real street address with i'm there! VanLIfe!
I like post #7 with the coyote skat!
Lol it's the small things in life.
Hi im from Philippines
Hi from Canada. Which island are you from? My parents have close friends and have visited Iloilo Island.-Shawna🍁
@@PortlyTravellers San Rafael Bulacan po
did you spot any rattlesnakes ?
Unfortunately no. We loved and hoped to spot 1 in the distance.-Shawna🍁
..
Lytton disagrees with this and Osoyoos is a small town not a City lol.
The 'warmest' city is based on yearly average. They have warmer winters therefore making them the warmest place in Canada. Thanks for watching and stay cool 😎-Shawna🍁
How many pounds of butter you eat every day? 🐷🐷
