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 the ancient lava flow wall, adorned with ponderosa pine, sagebrush, and wild flowers; and home to hawks, magpies, lizards, and even the endangered rubber boa.

This unisex hat is knit bottom-up and includes sizing for the whole family.
