Keremeos is a village of about 1,500 people (2016) in the Similkameen region of British Columbia. Fruit stands are also a major component of the local economy, making it the self-titled "fruit stand capital of Canada." All sorts of soft fruits, apples, cherries, peaches, and vegetables are grown in the South Similkameen's dry warm climate, and vineyards and wineries are quickly being added as the valley's wine-growing potential is being recognized.

An expanse of jagged mountain peaks, lakes and alpine meadows that is definitely for the adventurous. Cathedral Park offers fishing, camping, wilderness camping, hiking, and mountaineering. There are three well-defined hiking trails into the park. Hikers will require at least a full day to hike one-way into the core area.
Imagine the similar type of hexagonal rock column formations as Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway, but in an inland forest setting. The Keremeos column are oriented vertically and form a cliff on the side of a hill. The columns are not in Keremeos Columns Provincial Park, but there are view points in the park to see the columns. Public access on to the rock formation itself is not permitted. A three hour hike each way is required to reach the view point. The park can only be reached by hiking and park's website does not explain how to get to it, but there are third-party websites with trail maps, such as on the map tab of this hiking website.
