Why Fall Is the Best Season for Mountain Biking in Kelowna


As the leaves start to turn gold and red and the air becomes crisp, mountain biking in Kelowna transforms into an unforgettable experience. Fall is often considered the hidden gem of mountain biking seasons, offering cooler temperatures, stunning scenery, and coloured trails in the Kelowna Region.


1. Cooler Weather = Perfect Riding Conditions

Kelowna’s hot summer days can sometimes make riding feel intense, but the fall offers a comfortable break. With average temperatures hovering between 12°C and 25°C, you’ll find the cooler air more refreshing and ideal for longer rides. The mild conditions mean you can focus on less sweat drip and have more focus on reaching your final goals for the season!


2. Breathtaking Fall Foliage

Kelowna’s landscape comes alive in the fall with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows blanketing the forests. Trails like those in Smith Creek and Gillard Recreational Trails showcase the Okanagan Valley’s stunning autumn colours, making every ride beautiful plus makes a draw-dropping backdrop for your instagram photos!


3. The Best Time to Improve Your Skills

With consistent coaching, fall is the perfect time to elevate your mountain biking skills.
