Morning light hits Highway 97 and the van hums westward — Victoria pines give way to dry hills and the first glint of Okanagan Lake. On this two-day route you trade the Pacific coast’s salt for orchard scents, vineyard rows, and a rail-trail that dares you to keep pedaling. Expect wide water views, exposed basalt and glacial gravel benches, and the small towns where fruit stands and tasting rooms open their doors.

Wildlife
History
The Okanagan Valley developed from Indigenous stewardship to an orchard economy in the 19th–20th centuries; the Kettle Valley Railway built early 1900s connected communities and left trestles now repurposed for recreation.
Conservation
Many wineries and orchards practice water-efficient irrigation and support responsible touring; stick to marked trails, carry out waste, and respect private agricultural property.

Stay hydrated on the KVR
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water for the bike leg; refill options are limited between towns.
Pack a small lock
Use a compact bike lock for quick tasting-room stops when bikes are left outside.
Sun protection matters
Okanagan summers are dry and sunny—use SPF, a brimmed hat, and sunglasses even when riding.
Reserve dietary needs ahead
Notify the operator of food allergies or special dietary needs before booking—tasting menus vary by winery.
Comfortable hybrid or gravel bike (if you own one)
If you prefer your own bike over the provided rental, a hybrid or gravel bike handles paved and compact rail-trail surfaces well.
