Brent Mountain
Individual Trail
BC-Okanagan (South) / Apex
40 min driving from Penticton,BC
The trail up Brent Mountain begins as a nice meandering forest-way with cute stream crossings. his is a hike that is ideal for hotter months, as it remains moderately cool all throughout the summer! The lush and cozy sub alpine trail will offer a variety of unique foliage (Yarrow, Buttercups, Indian Paintbrush, mushrooms) in early summer after the snow clears. Prepare for a hefty set of mosquitos and mud, but a distraction that is easily ignored as you approach the summit with its broad meadows littered with smooth stones. T
While the trail has numerous forks, the route to the top is clearly indicated by metal trail markers. The trail begins with a mild slope, and then mostly levels out for the next 2 km, and then the final ascent begins.
At the summit, reach an abandoned fire watch tower with surrounding panoramas of Apex Mountain, Summerland, and even hints of Kelowna on clearer days.

Hi interested in going on this hike but need a ride. Thanks
Sun, Jul 24, 2016 2:17 PMThe road up is rough and trenches are deep but it was entirely passable IF your vehicle has high clearance. The wildflowers were gorgeous! A worthwhile hike with views all the way to Kelowna.
