The Monashee Circle Drive includes the Highway 6 Hotsprings Route, east of Vernon, and also includes Coldstream, Lumby, Cherryville and the Arrow Lakes. Less than 30 minutes from Kelowna, this meandering highway bridges the Okanagan with the Kootenays and is one of the great drives in British Columbia.

Visitors can experience daytrips or weekends that mix the rolling countryside of the Okanagan grasslands with rainforests and alpine meadows, all in a fantastic theatre of rivers, lakes, waterfalls and mountain peaks.

Since the 1960's, artists have congregated in this inspiring land, and have retained the colour, independence and the expression of the culture here. If it is nature you are looking for, away from the crowds, we are the Trail Capital of Canada!
