HOW GOOD CAN A RESORT GET?

This is one of my favourite images that I shot in early May of Spirit Ridge Resort near Osoyoos in the southern Okanagan of British Columbia. You can see Sonora Dunes golf course in the foreground, the resort itself, and the town of Osoyoos on the far shore of the lake.

What you can't see is inside the wonderful 1 to 3-bedroomed units, the five restos and two pools on the property, the vineyards, Nk'Mip Cellars (tasting room) on the far left, and the stunning Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre to the right.

Spirit Ridge is about twenty minutes from Oliver's Golden Mile—wine tasters' heaven where all the vineyards are side-by-side and many have award-winning restaurants.
