  • While British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley might be best known for its countless vineyards, the region’s sprawling mountains are equally ripe with singletrack. Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon comprise much of the valley’s populace and all offer trail networks that define the area’s riding. Johnny Smoke and Sonya Looney sample some of the Okanagan’s best singletrack as they make their way north through the valley.

      Also, for anyone thinking of coming here, they just touched the tip of the iceberg. So much more riding on offer. The local bike shops are more than happy to tell you where to ride, and if you just ask someone at the trailheads, they'll point you in the right directiion or ask if you want to join them.

    I'm from Penticton. Rode every inch of terrain. We have some insane downhill, trail ridings sick also. Also if your a climber. Skaha Bluffs in Penticton. Most rockclimbing in BC also. Over 600 climbs all in one area. A climbers dream.

      @@SNS1212 I like May and June the best. July and August are pretty hot, although there's some high elevation riding and bike parks to hit. The fall is nice too, but the long days in spring along with the great traction and flowers everywhere are insane.

    In Kelowna you need to check out the newly legalized Enduro/DH zone, over twenty years in the making, with over 30 trails open.. Gillard!

      Wanted to, but it was a short project and the Vernon guys really wanted to promote Predator. Mantle is actually decent too. Don't get slabs like that in many places in the Okanagan.
