Trail: Stairway to Heaven
Trail Difficulty: Easy-Moderate
Trail Distance: 1-2km
Located in Peachland. From Hwy 97 turn right on Princeton Ave, then right on Somerset Ave. Follow along and turn left on Gladstone Road, and left onto Victoria St. Park near the cul-de-sac. The trail head starts at the bottom of the stairs.
Who doesn't love a good set of stairs!? The Stairway to Heaven Trail offers beautiful views and a great workout, especially if you do the stairs a couple of times. How many stairs to the top you may wonder? 158 to be exact!
From the parking area, head straight up the stairs. Once you've reached the top of the stairs you get treated to a beautiful view looking south down the Okanagan Lake and towards the tip of Okanagan Mountain Park!
From here, you can continue to follow the trail arrows through the peaceful forest. We did a 2km loop, but there are several paths that can be taken to make your hike shorter or longer.
Take caution coming back down the stairs, as this steps are very steep! Please be respectful of private property as the stairs are located between two houses.
Always remember to be mindful of your surroundings, pack out what you pack in, stick to the trails and Happy Exploring!
