Welcome to
Highland Treks Magazine.
This e-magazine seeks to exemplify all the things that define a culture that is attached to the landscape of the Monashee. Here we have spectacular mountain scenery away from the crowds, abundant wildlife, four-season recreation and an opportunity to live in a park-like setting. Here at the edge of the Okanagan you can explore the place where both the Columbia and Fraser rivers find their source. Where the desert of the Okanagan Valley meets interior rainforests and alpine meadows.
This is truly an Undiscovered Country. We invite you to explore our distinctive mountain lifestyle and the grandeur of our pristine surroundings, trek the backcountry and spoil yourself with our art, culture, cuisine and real Canadian hospitality. Come celebrate life in the Monashee.
For us, the land is about exploration, not exploitation; the land and its remote places inspire us. We celebrate the landscape and the spirit that lives within it – and we seek to protect it because it is part of us.
Join us to explore this place. You can find great vacation and lifestyle possibilities whether it be for a day, weekend, month or lifetime.
Refresh your life in the Monashee!
