Osoyoos is Canada's only desert. It extends from Osoyoos Lake to the southern shores of Skaha Lake and west towards the Similkameen and Keremeos.
Apart from a short walk in the desert, a nice sigth is given by the "Spotted Lake": this lake contains one of the world's highest concentrations of minerals (magnesium, calcium, sodium, plus others). In the hot sun of summer, the water of Spotted Lake evaporates and crystallizes the minerals, forming many white-rimmed circle.
Indians from all tribes came to visit Spotted Lake for the medicine the lake contains.
