Quick Hike: Magic Estates to Knox Mountain Pagoda

 
 

Length: 2.5km (round trip)
Time: 30 minutes (round trip)
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
 
 
One of my favourite short hikes is along the ridge above Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, BC from Magic Estates to the Pagoda at the top of Knox Mountain.
 

 
 

 
 
 
There are spectacular long range views of the lake, almost reaching north to Vernon and facing south you can see Mount Boucherie.
 
 
 
As there are many trails in this area, and you never have to pick the exact same route twice.
 
 
 
The main trail is quite wide, with some rolling hill climbs, and it can make you feel a bit uncomfortable if you have issues with heights.
 
 
 
Like most of the hiking trails within the city limits, dogs on leash are permitted.
 
 
 
If you have limited time and would like to see some spectacular scenery, this trail is for you!
