One of the fondest childhood memories I ever had, was coming up here all the time, I lived down the road, it's the easiest walk for the greatest view of all time. The most Serene, peaceful, photogenic spot that you can get too. It's filled with nature, the easiest walk of all time that even me as a child made it all the time. Highly recommend everyone check this out, does not take long, worth every minute. A staple location in Penticton BC, an iconic location for anyone who has been there.

Beautiful short little trail from the parking lot to the viewpoint. Some loose gravel in some areas, nice park benches to rest and take in the view.
