This Saturday morning market is a "must" when visiting Penticton or the surrounding area. It gets VERY crowded so I would recommend going as early as you can. You can find free parking closely. The market is made up of a "farm and artisan" side and a sort of "retail" side with a few artisan foods mixed in. It is an amazing showcase of what the farms and businesses in the area have to offer and so much of it is great. From wickedly delicious breads, beautiful fruits and vegetables, and beautiful baked items, your basket will be filled within minutes. It would be a true shame to be in this area and not take in this market.

An absolute MUST go for Book Lovers of all ages. Easily spent over an hour in here and would’ve spent many more had it not been for impatient kids. Loved all the unique and quirky corners and surprise finds. Left will nearly a dozen books (only because I couldn’t carry anymore)... I’ll be back.

My spouse and I travel quite a bit to rock climb. If we're in a new place, we like to hire a guide to show us around to the best spots so that we can save time and learn new skills. In this case, we were so happy we did. Lyle was the best guide we've ever had and we've had lots! He was incredibly knowledgeable about each route we did and was very in tune with what me and my partner were looking for in terms of our skill level. We had him with us for two separate days. Throughout that time, he gave us an interesting run down of the area, the history, and the flora/fauna. He had great stories about certain climbs in the bluffs that you would never get out of a guide book. He even spent extra time with us on our last day as we weren't quite ready to quit and he thought we should try another route that he thought we would enjoy. All in all, I feel like I walked away with lots of new skills and more confidence in my overall ability. In terms of the booking process, it was great. There was a fire in the summer that had closed the bluffs. Russ was excellent at communicating with us about the closure, about refunds if the bluffs did not reopen, and then again about the bluffs re-opening so that we could go on our planned trips. Skaha Rock Adventures certainly went beyond my expectations to create a very memorable trip.
