Another amazing run

I went for a 7 mile run today with Tim and we did some exploring and ended up on this trail next to Lake Okanagan today. We were squeezing this in at the end of the day, but I am so happy we did.

We ran along a steep bank and cliffs that were 70 to 100 feet or more above the lake shore. We would look down and the lake was so clear you could see all of the rocks and some outcroppings underneath the water. We reached one bend which had a wooden bench on it and from this bench you could look to your right and see at least 20 miles down the lake, and then to the left another 10 miles down the other way. Both of these before the lake turns, the lake is huge at 135 km long and 4 to 5 km wider. We made it to the end of the trail and stopped and looked around a bit and saw some amazing houses, one looked large enough to be a hotel, but it was just a house off in the distance!

We were both sitting there stunned and I realized that the sun was behind the mountains, and we still had to get out of the trails and get back to our car. I said to Tim we better take off, and it was a good thing because we did get back in the dark, but got out of the technical stuff in plenty of time.

On the run back as we were running down the trail, the lake was calm and the sun was setting behind the white mountain range across the lake. Today's sunset was a deep red color that lit up the clouds, and what made it even better is that the lake was calm. This created a reflection of the sunset off of the lake, with the white mountains in between the red sky and the red lake. This is somewhere I plan on taking Kristin when we are both in Kelowna. In my opinion, this is about as close to God as you can get.
