HIKE TO THE ADRA TUNNEL

Why we picked it

**The Adra tunnel part of the KVR running a fair distance past Little Tunnel in Naramata area was opened to the public last year. It is quite a site to see.** **It has become quite a popular attraction since. I led it twice last year hiking the 2.5 kms up to the tunnel. It is uphill all the way.** **So this year we will drive almost all the way to a parking lot and just do a short 15 minute hike to the tunnel, returning the same way.** **Directions: drive through Penticton but instead of going south continues straight taking you eventually into Naramata. Once on Naramata Rd continue a good distance (maybe 6-7 kms uncertain) to SMETHURST RD. Turn right on Smethurst and continue a short way and you will come to the Smethurst parking lot on the bike trail.** **We will car pool from there up to the small parking lot and hike in to the tunnel. Post hike we can stop on the way back along Naramata rd at the Abandoned Rail Brewery on Davenport off Naramata Rd. Nice venue and quite popular.
