Sheep shape hikes around Vernon.

[DeerWhisperer]

Hey guys I am working in Vernon for the next couple of weeks. Just curious if there are any cool little trails that a guy could get to after work to stretch out the legs with some weight in the pack. Thanks

Depends on when your off work. Couple close by hikes that only take a few hrs. Some have more elevation then others.
Enderby cliffs
Camels hump
Rimrock trail
Elison park/Predator ridge
Kal park
If you have more time on the weekends could do twin lakes or spectrum lake.

Sheep season opened yesterday. It’s too late to get in shape.

Kal park is a good one with many options for starting points . It will probably be busy but still some nice hikes

Also this week there will be a break in the hot weather. However, next week it gets stinking hot, so if you are not used to that kind of heat; pace yourself accordingly.

There's a trailhead for the Okanagan High Rim Trail at Cosens Bay, Kal Lake. Goes all the way to Kelowna. The entry at both ends is quite steep with the remainder being moderate. I often catch it on the Oyama Lake FSR for a quick fall hunt, although I haven't been successful with a harvest hehe. You can get on it shortly after the turn off to Oyama Lake resort. Nice little stretch from the FSR to Hayhurst Lake. Roughly 1 km with decent elevation gain & you're shaded from the heat for pretty well all of it. There's a nice Rec Site at the lake just before the resort too.

If you have a day off while you're in the area, try Pinnacle/monnashee lakes East of Cherryville, it's absolutely spectacular country up there...
