Osoyoos is the only desert in Canada, with the lowest rainfall, the highest temperatures and the warmest lakes. It is located in the middle of the Southern Thompson Okanagan wine country, whose fine wines are touted as among the best in the world, from France to California. The climb up to the Anarchist Mountain Lookout is 1,233 metres (4045 feet), from where one can see the Okanagan Valley, as well as part of Washington State. Today, the dry, sunny climate and long growing season make the South Okanagan the fruit basket of Canada, with Osoyoos as its capital city. Cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, apples, grapes and even bananas (the only plantation of its kind in Canada).
