Back to OK Falls

As mentioned in my previous entry, we had gone to OK Falls on the weekend for a walk but I didn't think to bring my camera. Monday evening we decided to do it again. It was still 29 degrees after supper so we told Layla she could bring her new "floating swimsuit" and MAYBE she could go in the lake. I took my camera this time so you'll have to excuse me there are LOTS of pictures as it was quite a diverse walk.

We started out in a small alcove of the Skaha lake beside a campground. We crossed a small bridge and climbed some rock formations in the lake.

Then we went back across the small bridge so we could head to the big bridge which used to be the railroad line.

On the bridge there were these little look-outs. There is also a gate where you can jump into the lake. There is a ladder so you can get back up. There was someone fishing from the ladder that evening.

The gem of the walk, in our opinion, was a small waterfall we found hidden behind some bushes and trees. The Okanagan Falls that the town was named after no longer exists so to us, this is our Okanagan falls. In the next picture we can hear the falls but can't see it. It is on the left behind those trees.

This one was taken from the waterfall, looking out to the path.

Shortly after our waterfall, we followed a little path leading down to a very small beach area. There was a small boat on the shore, a picnic table, a dock and some carpeted stairs down to the lake. We took a small dip to cool off.

The next one Layla is yelling at Chester to come back...he didn't. He ventured off and found another beach area and we met up with him on the path.

We turned around and headed back to the main beach area. Layla was tired so she hitched a ride in Baron's stroller. No, it is not a 2-person stroller but they fit.

Here is a shot of Okanagan Falls (OK Falls) from behind some snake grass.

The rest of the evening we stayed at the dog friendly portion of the Skaha beach in Ok Falls. We were very excited to discover this because up until now we thought all of the good beaches banned pets. Good news for the furry fella.
