Trail Overview
Engage 4-low and prepare for a challenging ascent! This gravel trail winds up to the summit of Terrace Mountain, offering stunning 360-degree views of the Okanagan Valley, including Okanagan Lake. The trail is narrow, with limited opportunities to pass oncoming vehicles. Deploying a drone can provide insight into potential vehicles heading down. Each switchback provides sufficient space to pull over for vehicles or photo opportunities. Navigate carefully through several sections that demand precise line-picking. You'll observe remnants of past fires, evidenced by the silver sticks scattered throughout the area. At the summit, ample space is available for parking and exploring. Given the intermittent cell service, a satellite device is highly recommended. This view is sure to exceed expectations!
