Beautiful drive to Summerland along the lake. As you come into town from the north you will pass Sumac Ridge Winery and Back Door Winery.
Mountain Goats Watch for the adobe style Guest Inn called La Punta Norte on your left just before Summerland. As soon as you pass the Inn watch for mountain goats on the mountain side and the rock cliff on your right.
Once you pass Summerland the highway drops down to lake level. On your right you will see hoodoo cliff formations and, on your left, looking across the lake, you will see the Naramata Bench wine country.
Continue south to Penticton. Continue south through Kaleden and take Highway 3A exit (turn right) to Vancouver/Keremeos. Continue to Keremeos. About halfway to Keremeos you will come to the Twin Lakes Golf Course and Yellow Lake. Yellow Lake has a rest stop at each end.
