Trailhead is near the parking lot at Okanagan Mountain Park, located a few kilometers up Chute Lake Road from Glen Fir, at the end of a clearly marked (but rough) road. Cross the creek via the bridge and turn west. Follow the sign along the winding single track. The trail is mostly flat at first, but soon climbs steadily to the viewpoint.

This whole area burned in the 2004 Okanagan Mountain Fire that devastated parts of Kelowna, and destroyed the trestles in Myra Canyon. This hike shows a forest in recovery. During spring, much greenery emerges, providing food and cover for the many deer, elk, and now bighorn sheep resident there. By mid-July, the fireweed is in bloom. Also during this time, you will see daisies, delicate tiger lilies, salmonberries, wild rose, goldenrod, larkspur, brown-eyed-Susan and other wildflowers in bloom.

The trail is clear, with occasional rest areas. The hike is out-and-back on the same trail. On your return, take time to sit beside Chute Creek and listen to the rush of the water. You might like to rest on the granite boulders in the streambed just below the bridge and dangle hot feet in cool water.

You may wish to visit Chute Creek where it tumbles over its final waterfall before dumping into Okanagan Lake. If so, turn north on North Naramata Road leading to Indian Rock. You will cross the Creek just before the turn-around at the end of the road. Return in freshet for a huge roar and lots of spray!
