The big weekend

This coming weekend Jen & I are going to walk/hike 60kms. As we couldn’t join my family in Calgary for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, we are going our 60km this coming weekend around Kelowna.

We are planning 10 km for tomorrow night around downtown and up Knox Mountain to the Paul’s Tomb recreation area. Knox Mountain is at the north end of downtown Kelowna and overlooks the city and the Okanagan Lake.

Then Saturday we are heading down to the Myra-Bellevue trails just south of town. A large portion of this area was devastated by the massive fires of 2003; the black trees and the amazing regrowth make it a really neat area to hike through. We are planning to do 25kms in this area and then after heading home for a quick refresh doing another 5km around our neighbourhood.

Sunday will see us walking from our current home to our new home over in Westbank. This trek will take about 21km and seems like a charming and fitting end to the weekend. We’ll take lots of pictures and check back in on Sunday night. Or throughout the weekend if we feel ambitious!

  1. silly Roni.. not “the” West Bank. :)

    D&J – that is a ton of walking for 3 days, I hope you’ve got some comfortable shoes.

    I’d like lots and lots of pictures please so I can use it as motivation / incentive to get off it and come out for a visit…
