About Ridgewalk Trail, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia
The spectacular Silver Star, Ridgewalk Trail is located in a beautiful alpine area of the Okanagan highlands in British Columbia, Canada. The hike is short at 1.4 km and takes around 45-60 min depending on fitness levels. The trail is quite arduous and heads straight up the mountain via many switchbacks. During the hike, you will meander through a combination of grasslands and patches of forest that open up to incredible views of mountains as far as the eye can see. Depending on what time of year you visit Silver Star, you may be lucky enough to witness the wonderful wildflower season that is typical of BC’s alpine regions.
To reach the Ridgewalk Trail you may also choose to ride to the top on the Des Schumann Summit Express Gondola at the Silver Star Mountain Resort. The gondola costs $25 for an all-day pass and provides hikers and mountain bikers with access to a variety of trails that lead back down the mountain to the village. Though we chose to hike to the top of the mountain, we have done the ride in the past. The gondola is a fun way to explore the hill and provides a neat experience that the whole family can enjoy.
