    Stand at the Munson Mountain Park lookout. The sun rises in the east, casting a warm glow on the white 'Penticton' sign and the valley below.

    Bench Artisan Food Market

    Head down to Bench Artisan Food Market for a proper breakfast. The eggwiches and fresh baked goods are perfect after the cold morning air.

Local tip

The walk from the anchor to the market is short, but ensure you have warm layers for the initial ascent. Bench Artisan Food Market opens at 08:00 on weekends and 07:00 on weekdays, which aligns well with the winter sunrise timing.
