About Pincushion Mountain, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia
If you think the name Pincushion Mountain sounds strange, well there is a perfectly good explanation for the unique moniker. This gorgeous Okanagan Lake lookout got its name when it was scorched by a wildfire in the early 19th century leaving the trees looking like they were pins sticking out of a pincushion.
The mountain is situated high above the lovely beach resort town of Peachland, British Columbia which is around 20 minutes from the Okanagan Valley’s biggest metropolitan area, the city of Kelowna.
