We stopped by the visitor center on our RV stay in Peachland and were so delighted by the overwhelming kindness of Susan. She gave us a lot of information about little Peachland, the bats in the attic and helped us with planning our further travel itinerary towards Hope, so we could take a much more scenic route than initially planned. Seldom have we experienced such a warm and passionate service! Definitely need to go there again, if we happen to be in Okanagan valley again one day. The little art gallery in the rear of the building is also worth a visit!

The weather was wet and cloud cover low so we visited the information centre for suggestions of things to do in the drizzly rain. The staff were excellent, very knowledgeable and keen to help the visitors. We left armed with a trail map marked with the recommended hikes and some bear spray in case our walks in the woods stumbled across a bear - we didn’t although did see bears by the roadside from our car. The parks staff have all the latest information on areas closed due to animal activity so a good place to start any trip to Jasper.

The Merritt Information Centre is located on the grounds of Baille House. My sister and I were geocaching in the area and one we were searching for took us to this historic site. The Nicola Valley Heritage Society welcomes visitors to Baille House during the months of May to September. Before touring the grounds, we asked the volunteer about geocaching and where we could find the necessary document to record our finds. She was very helpful about geotourism in the area and provided us with two volumes containing great information about geotourism adventures in Gold Country. She indicated that a third volume is being published and would be available in the near future. The grounds are well maintained and is dotted with large shade trees, colorful flowers, tables, chairs with an old-fashioned buggy sitting in one corner of the yard. After touring the house, barn, store and storage garage, we continued on our geotourism adventure.
