The Brigade Trail Follow the path of Hudson's Bay Company fur
traders who trekked through the Okanagan Valley from 1812 to 1846
with pack trains of up to 300 horses. The same trail was later used
during the Cariboo Gold Rush and was the first automobile route to
Summerland. Drive from downtown through the Garnet Valley (actually
following the original route) to the trailhead at Priest Camp
Historic Park. The 4.1km/2.5mi trail (rated easy) leads to a
lookout with terrific views of Okanagan Lake. When hiking in the
dry grasslands, be aware that this is habitat for the Western
Rattlesnake. Black Bears are not uncommon, Cougars occasionally:
hikers should carry bear spray and make enough noise to have their
presence known. Ticks are also present here, check yourself and
your pets. Congratulations to Kerry & Shannon for the FTF.
