Osoyoos

Osoyoos is a town located in the south central interior of B.C. The climate is semi-arid, the mountains desert-like with tumbleweed and low scrubby bushes, grasses and wild flowers.. The valley is the opposite, lush and fertile producing abundant fruits and vegetables. The contrast is striking. A picturesque old western-style town catering to tourists completes the picture. The highway descends from the mountains in a series of steep switch-backs which brings the whole valley into view. This setting has to be unique in Canada.
