Osoyoos, Canada's Only Desert

by - Wednesday, August 23, 2017

This being our first long road trip together we decided to take it easy and stop at various places along the way to Vancouver. Our first stop was at Osoyoos, Canada's only desert and a protected reserve for various wildlife. While we didn't see many animals, we did enjoy a nice stroll along the boardwalk.

The boardwalk in Osoyoos winds around the landscape. Expect to walk for about 45 minutes and more if you stopped as much as we had to take photos. 



You can see many bushes growing in the park. The day we went it was super hot and it felt very dry. Makes sense since this is a desert. 

Not sure what this is exactly. If you know please comment below! It is much appreciated.


The desert is next to some vineyards. 


There are many of these structures dotting the landscape. 

While we didn't see any wildlife we saw what they left behind. This intricate web reminded us that this is a home to many animals. It's possible because of the heat they don't come out until night time. 


These are the main buildings for the park, housing the interpretative center as well as the restrooms.
