| Looking across Okanagan Lake from Westbank |
With the very dry summers here, fire is a constant danger. In the summer of 2003 a very large forest fire ravaged Okanagan Mountain south of Kelowna. It was started by lightening strikes and burned fiercely for several weeks destroying hundreds of homes and tens of thousands of hectares of forest. Also destroyed were many of the historic railway trestles in Myra Canyon. Reconstruction of the trestles is now under way. |

PASSKid Tue Jul 1, 2008 00:23 UTC Best Place to dine in Kelowna! The Italian Food is World Class! And the service is excellent. Loretta (Chef) and Franco (Maître) are the owners who their son Luigi make the best desert drinks. | sourbugger Fri May 16, 2008 13:00 UTC well that page jarred ! | cnango Tue Feb 19, 2008 16:08 UTC Nice page on Kelowna.
