If you cross to the West Bank, you can head West to Merrit or South to Penticton, Osoyoos, and the Okanagan. North out of Kelowna lies Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kamloops. East lies Highway 33 which heads into the Kootenays and can be a lonely road.
=== South/East West towards [[Vancouver]] === To hitch to Vancouver from Kelowna, take a city bus to the Westbank neighborhood, and wait on Main Street, as far west as one can walk before the road becomes an expressway. A sign will help clarify your direction, as many cars are headed south.
To hitch to Vancouver from Kelowna, take a city bus to the Westbank neighborhood, and wait on Main Street, as far west as one can walk before the road becomes an expressway. A sign will help clarify your direction, as many cars are headed south. If possible, try to get to the junction of the 97/97C, and wait just past the dirt road with the cattle guard. At this point, traffic is splitting between those heading west or south, and there is lots of room for people to see you and pull over.
=== East towards [[Grand Forks]] ===
