We went to the HOTTEST place and the ONLY desert in Canada. Osoyoos is a small town located in the Okanagan Valley, south of Kelowna the biggest city in the region. There’s plenty of fun things to do in Osoyoos, whether you’re feeling adventurous or prefer to relax and enjoy Canada’s driest climate.
To kickstart our Okanagan Series, we started our adventure by driving 5 hours from Vancouver British Columbia to Osoyoos situated just above the USA border. Osoyoos is home to Canada’s only desert environment with some of the warmest annual temperatures in Canada with the lowest rainfall, the highest temperatures, and also the warmest freshwater lake. Having this warm sunny climate, the area around Osoyoos is one of the most productive fruit-growing orchards making the South Okanagan the fruit basket of Canada. Osoyoos is also absolutely scenic, from the rugged dry hills and surrounding mountains all the way to the rolling vineyards and sandy lakeshore. It was our first time in Okanagan and we didn’t even know that we have places like this in British Columbia!
The first place to go to in Osoyoos was the Spotted Lake, containing one of the world’s highest concentrations of various minerals with therapeutic waters to alleviate aches and pains. During summer the water evaporates and crystallizes, making the spots visible revealing colorful mineral deposits. The lake is on private land and is therefore not accessible by the public, but we got a good view of it from the highway.
One of the must visit places in Osoyoos is the Osoyoos Desert Centre which is a 67 acre facility that preserves the desert ecology. Good thing it was too hot to be outside for the wild desert animals to come say hi to us too. And we think we were the only ones crazy enough to walk around Canada’s desert during British Columbia’s record breaking heatwave! Mind you it was 40+ degrees Celsius every single day throughout that week. Just goes to show that nothing can stop us if exploring new places is on the table. Osoyoos is very dry and arguably the hottest place in Canada!

Great video you guys!!!
That straw hat max was wearing really suits her. She looked so exotic. She really pulled off the look 😀
This was amazing and brave! I hope you all are okay! I had no idea there was a dessert in BC! I was definitely familiar with the sacred lakes. I watch a documentary series on APTN about First Nations sacred lands and they featured it last weekend! I believe they said there are exactly 365 of the little lakes and are reported to hold healing energy! I started following your IG but was wondering if you have a website/blog as well?!
Not "only" desert in Canada, there is also one in Yukon (Carcross Desert)

I just put up a video on Osoyoos as well, but it was from the spring so it wasn’t as hot. great tips on the hotels, It’s definitely a town you book ahead. Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a wonderful place. great content! just subbed to your channel 👍🏽
Lytton was the hottest place in. Canada and holds the record at 49 Celsius😉
You guys really should incorporate TIME STAMPS in your videos! SOME of us are doing RESEARCH projects who don't have all the time in the world on our hands, and would really appreciate it!
You two are great to follow on your trips. Thanks for filming your Osoyoos adventure. What will keep people clicking on your videos is you two. You both come across as kind helpful. Thank you for being so awesome.
