There's also Osoyos "desert" of a similar nature (that is, more of a sandy dry patch). It's 400 km to the East from Vancouver, in the Okanagan valley with its vineyards, wineries and whatnots. Wineries are quite nice; the desert - not so much :)

- p0rky 8y agoChecks out. Source: I lived in Osoyoos for 25 years.
- walrus01 8y agoMost of Okanogan County, WA also looks like that, where it isn't directly next to a river or irrigated. Directly south of Osoyoos.
- s0rce 8y agoWhile I didnt live up there I lived a bit South in Eastern WA and I think the desert out there is amazing (and Eastern OR). I was hoping to get to osoyos but didn't make it and now live down in California.

It is an amazing and unique climate in Canada and almost always defies the average foreign tourists' idea of what Canada "is". About 20km north of Osoyoos is MacIntyre bluff, a shear cliff face formed near the end of the last ice age. Okanagan lake, over 100km long and 400m deep, is home to a mythical giant serpent-type creature known as Ogopogo. It is a gorgeous place to visit, especially in the summer, although forest fire season can suck.
