Turn onto Hwy 3E at the junction just outside of the town of Osoyoos (just south of the Husky Gas Station with its very large Canadian flag). Follow signs to downtown Osoyoos.

Continue east on Hwy 3 up Anarchist Mountain. The road has 2 lanes for uphill traffic until just before you reach a very tight turn, with a scenic viewpoint to your right. Continue a very short distance and you will see a blue B & B sign on your right. Get into the passing lane and make a left-hand turn at the first road on your left, which is Observatory Road. (You'll also see a B & B sign at this point). Caution: this turn comes up quickly. Watch for oncoming downhill traffic as you cross!
