Description:
A great trail loop through Dilworth Mountain Park offers fantastic views overlooking Kelowna and the Okanagan Lake.
During the spring the trail is lined with fields of Balsamorhiza Sagittata. This beautiful yellow flower, which is reminiscent of a sunflower, is known as Arrowleaf Balsam Root or the Okanagan sunflower. It is actually the official flower of Kelowna! This plant is drought tolerant and one of the longest blooming wildflower.
Dilworth Mountain is a perfect place to take your furry friend for a little stroll or sit on one of the many benches and enjoy an evening sunset. The easy, flat trails are perfect for the entire family.
Always be mindful of your surroundings, pack out what you pack in, stick to the trails, and Happy Exploring!
