Trail Head Ed has accomplished what everyone dreams of doing – he loves going to work! But who wouldn’t when your office is one of the most spectacular biking/hiking spots on the planet!
Ed Kruger, better known as Trail Head Ed, has turned his passion into his profession; and lucky for us! He started an outdoor tour company called Monashee Adventure Tours and this year the company turns 20! You can contact Ed anytime, winter or summer, to book a biking, hiking or snowshoeing tour through some of the world’s most pristine wilderness around Kelowna and Vernon, British Columbia. But his tours offer more than just scenery. They also offer history, culture and culinary delights that will have you wishing that you had Ed’s job!
Monashee Adventure Tours offers a wide variety of trips that mix wineries or breweries into a tour where at the 
end of the day you indulge in world-class wines or beers and delicious meals cooked by world-class chefs. They food is delectable and the various wines have won awards all around the world. If wine is not your thing than Monashee Adventure Tours also offer biking and hiking tours along the famous Kettle Valley Railway that was built way back in 1915 (the trail is now part of the Trans Canada Trail).
Many of the Monashee tours go along the Myra Canyon Trestles portion of the trail, which is one of the most popular sections through the Okanagan Mountain. This section has 18 wooden trestles and two tunnels which are needed to traverse deep canyons. The views along the trail are stunning! Because of its unique history and stupendous views this section of the railway was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2002.
Whether it’s a hiking tour, a biking tour or a snowshoeing trip Trail Head Ed guarantees you’ll have a fabulous time. He can provide everything you need so all you need to do is show up! It’s an experience that will be the highlight of your holiday or is in itself reason alone to take a holiday!
Our day out with Ed was sensational and we were sad when it came to an end. Trail Head Ed is an encyclopedia of knowledge on the history and flora and fauna of the area, which he gladly shares with his guests. He puts a high priority on safety and fun, and though he’s done every trail 1000 times his excitement at doing what he loves best is contagious. Call Ed for a tour. You’ have a fantastic day!
P.S. Be sure to ask Ed to bring along his toy train whistle –
it’s hilarious
