If you think the name Pincushion Mountain sounds strange, well there is a perfectly good explanation for the unique moniker.

The mountain is situated high above the lovely beach resort town of Peachland, British Columbia which is around 20 minutes from the Okanagan Valley’s biggest metropolitan area, the city of Kelowna.
