The High Rim Trail runs along the east side of the okanagan valley, from Vernon to Kelowna. It has recently been the subject of a rejuvination project, and should be restored by the end of summer 2009. The trail begins in Kalmalka Lake Park, passes Oyama Lake and through Wrinkley Face Provincial Park near Lake Country, and finishes at Mission Creek and Highway 33 in Kelowna. There are camping spots along the trail, but with 5 or 6 access points, it can easily be hiked in stages.
Directions:
The Trail heads are at the Coosen's Bay gate in Kalmalka Lake Park, near coldstream or Vernon and also at Highway 33, near Mission Creek in Kelowna. There are also access points at Oyama Lake Rd., Beaver Lake Rd, Postil Rd, and Philpot Rd. The longest section is about 15 or so km.

CommentWe hike 5km from Hwy 33 past Cardinal Creek today. Trail was in great shape. Looks like it would make a great 4/5 day hike.
