Route Rationale
We want you to fall for the local festivities Thompson Okanagan has to offer! Day trip worthy adventures that get you outside enjoying the crisp Autumn air while picking your favourite pumpkin or getting lost in a corn maze. The seasons are changing, and we want you to make the most of it!
Target Market
Fun for the whole family, young and young at heart! Grab your friends and make a day of it. It is even a perfect date idea! With everything, a short drive away can make it a day trip or for those outside the area, make it a weekend getaway close to home!
