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!

After parking the car, my sister and I began our thirty minute walk to Hardy Falls. The trail followed Deep Creek through a quiet forest to this magnificent waterfall. There were a number of signs describing the area, including information about bears as well as salmon berry bushes. We crossed a total of eight (8) bridges to reach our final destination. There are three (3) new ones spanning the creek along the winding, beautiful trail that has no elevation. Because of heavy forestation, we learned that two (2) of these new bridges were brought in by helicopter during reconstruction. They were orginally destroyed by floodwaters. Benches are found along the way, near the bridges, providing restful stopping points for visitors to enjoy the surrounding scenery. The trail is wheel-chair friendly. Once we reached the lookout station, we read the information boards. The park, named after Harry Hardy, is located on six (6) hectares of forested land at the south end of Peachland. The salmon run the creek in the fall, then spawn. On the return trip to our car, we looked for and found a cleverly hidden geocache.

We stopped to do a tasting and enjoyed every minute of it. Although the restaurant was closed when we got there, we were able to have a tasting. The wine was very nice and we each bought a bottle. Beautiful views!!!

The place is small; but with a lot of interesting local artifacts and documents. The second floor is a gem. It has a Kettle Valley Railway system showing all the local stations and of course the Myra Canyon Trestles. Just push a button and they will start running.
