Our Location
Where do we get our name?
Our ranch backs onto the Camel's Hump Mountain - a visual icon for the North Okanagan. The humps can be spotted from many miles away while driving along Kalamalka Lake on Hwy 97. Both peaks offer excellent views of surrounding areas, including Mabel Lake. On the edge of the Okanagan backcountry wilderness, it is well known for being an ancient, extinct volcano. Our ranch guests walk out of their cabins and can hike right up the mountain!
