IMPORTANT LOCAL AREA INFO Rock Creek is a small rural town
about 40 mins east of Osoyoos, BC which is Canada’s only
desert.
The town of Rock Creek has a
licensed pub, two gas stations, family restaurant, a small country
store at the Petro Can where you can buy ‘some’
groceries and also some alcohol, there are a few additional tourist
shops as well. This time of the year the river might still be quiet
cool IF you dare to go swimming, but the water is
clean.
The surrounding area is valley
bottom with the river and many horse, cow and hay ranches, and
surrounding mountains. Days will be warm to hot and a dry kind of
heat like Kelowna. Evenings will cool down some. Bring your sun
screen and drink lots of water.
Coming from the west you may want to stop in
Osoyoos as there are two larger grocery stores as well as a full
liquor store, all are on the main street which is also Highway
3.
Coming from the east you may
want to stop in Grand Forks for liquor and groceries. Both are on
the main highway (Hwy 3) that runs through the town and at the very
western end of the town will be a very large grocery super
store.
Coming from northward it is best
to stop in one of the many places in Kelowna before travelling to
the event site for your main food and liquor.
Coming from the south you will
come up into either Osoyoos or Grand
Forks.
Note that the above Weather and Map information is generated from the site address and can be easily confused. The weather will say if its for the branch or for the site. It will be for the site if the site can be found, but this again is not always the case, and if the site is some distance from the branch then the weather may be different.
