Not a well known Grizz area, but they are around . I would bet there are quite a few in the hills east of town, and probably the odd one to the west .
they are around kelowna and vernon not a whole lott tho but there there
They are on both sides of the lake in Kelowna, lots around big white and christian valley!!!
Why would penticton be any different??

Never saw one or evidence of one in the 26 years that I lived there, I used to haunt the Ashnola, Venner Meadows, Carmi, Chute Lake, Bridesville/Mount Baldy area to name a few. Never saw one in the Greystokes area either, but did see sign there, like tracks and poop (with bells:-D).
Now, having said that, my son saw one in the Arawana area above Naramata a few years back.

Seen a few at the "Peachfest"
If you aren't careful you could get mauled!
Not sure about up in the hills though

One of my CO friends relocated a grizz from Naramata to the North Grandby after it was tearing up irrigation pipes. He shot it back in Naramata a few months later. :?
There are grizz, and getting to be more, in the whole Okanagan.
