Easy Smooth surfaces and gentle climbing.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

This out-and-back explores Osoyoos in the South Okanagan, 4.5 to 24 km through lakefront parks, vineyards, and a stretch of rail trail. Osoyoos Lake is often called Canada's warmest, and the desert hills around it bloom with wildflowers in spring, with good birdwatching in the quieter sections.
