We're officially in that in-between season in Kelowna, when fall colours are still hanging on, snow is starting to appear in the mountains, and the holiday season is just around the corner.

It's a great month to explore a local art gallery, catch a live performance, or get a head start on holiday shopping at one of the season's first markets.

Looking for things to do this month? We've rounded up events, activities, and seasonal tips to help you make the most of November 👇

You don’t have to drive all the way to Banff or the Kootenays to see golden larches! We have them right here in the Okanagan.
 
They usually turn golden in mid-to-late October. Here are three places to find them near Kelowna:
 
📍 1. Okanagan Boulderfields
 
This is such a cool area to explore! Massive boulders dot the forest, with golden larches on the hillsides. You’ll even spot some along the road.
 
From the parking lot, it’s a short walk to the first viewpoint. Keep exploring if you’re comfortable on rocky terrain.
 
🚗 Directions: Take Gillard FSR for about 8.7 km, then the Kettle Valley Rail Trail for 1.9 km and the access road for another 0.7 km.
 
📍 2. Oyama Lake & High Rim Trail
 
Here’s my biggest tip: don’t head straight to the lake! There aren’t many larches along the shoreline, but you’ll find them along the High Rim Trail.
 
Hike toward The Monolith (~6 km return), Damer Lake Lookout (~8 km return), or just walk a shorter section. Some are only a few hundred metres from the road!
 
🚗 Directions: Follow Oyama Lake Road past Oyama Zipline and up the gravel FSR for about 9.5 km. Keep right at the fork. The High Rim Trail crosses the road about 300 m farther on.
 
📍 3. Myra Canyon
 
Most people know Myra Canyon for its historic railway trestles, but there are golden larches here too! The relatively flat trail makes for an easier walk.
 
From Myra Station, you can walk about 6 km return to trestle #8 and the second tunnel, with larches and valley views along the way.
 
🚗 Directions: Access Myra Station via McCulloch Road and Myra FSR, or Ruth Station via June Springs Road.
 
🍁 A few tips!
 
• Expect rough sections on gravel roads. Check conditions.
• Bring warm layers, water and snacks. It’s colder up in the mountains, with no services nearby.
• Download offline maps before you go. Cell service can be spotty.
• Timing changes every year. In 2026, larches were only starting to turn around mid-October!
 
You don’t have to do a huge hike either. Some of the prettiest trees are a short walk from the road!
 
Did you know we had golden larches in the Okanagan? 🍂
