Overlooking the rolling hills of the North Okanagan, Rocky Ridge Park sits atop a basalt knoll, formed during the area’s great volcanic era. Winding trails run along ancient lava flow wall, adorned with ponderosa pine, sagebrush, and wild flowers; and home to hawks, magpies, lizards, and even the endangered rubber boa.

These cozy, lightweight mittens are sized for the whole family.
