GATE WAY TO MCINTYRE BLUFF
The bluff exposes a 500 meter high wall of granitic gneiss, shot through with thin layers of quartz and other mineral veins. The rock is known as the Vaseux Formation and probably belongs to the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex of Precambrian age. This cliff is the steepest and most dramatic in the Okanagan Valley, and the valley itself is the narrowest and most constricted in the Okanagan at this spot.
Covert Farms Organics is the gate way onto the bluff for people to hike. Plan for 3 hours to the top and back. Pack water and please leave your pets at home.
