Explore BC

Follow four travel bloggers—two teams of two—on a month-long adventure as they Explore BC and its many unique experiences.

Team Orca consists of Brendan and Rob, hailing from Rocky Mountain House and Ottawa, respectively. Both are seasoned world travellers and this will be the first time they’ll be meeting each other. Team Eagle is Dina and Ryan, a husband-and-wife duo from London, Ontario, who have visited more than 40 countries together since 2009, yet have never visited British Columbia.

Over the course of four weeks this summer, these four bloggers will attempt to experience much of what BC has to offer: everything from white-water rafting and whale watching to gliding and rock climbing; from winery tours and brewery tours to historic museums and aboriginal experiences. Be sure to follow the adventure on our Facebook page and have your say in where they go and what they do!

Salmon catching The house Scenery Rattlesnake Dina

Watch for rattlesnakes!, said the little yellow sign in the Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre.

We opened our eyes wide, trying to spot one, but this shy little friend wouldn’t show up.

Even though it’s called the Okanagan Desert or Nk'Mip Desert by the the native band Osoyoos, this semi-arid land actually is shrub-steppe. I love the pale green nuance of it. Mountains and mountains tufted with pale green shrubs, meeting the gorgeous coppery-blue Osoyoos Lake.

In Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre, we enjoyed the natural walk through this desert-land of dry pale green shrubs. 

It’s cool to imagine the life of the native band Osoyoos in this area in the past. Among many things, they caught salmon from the river, and then wind-dried them for preservation.

On the way out, don’t forget to grab a bag of candied salmon at the cultural centre’s shop. It’s really tasty! We munched it all the way to Keremeos the next day!
