Step back in time as we explore the hauntingly beautiful Kaleden Hotel—an ambitious 1911 landmark built on the shores of Skaha Lake to welcome miners, travelers, and early settlers of the South Okanagan. Ahead of its time, this concrete hotel boasted electricity and indoor plumbing long before such luxuries were common in the region.Today, only its weathered shell remains. Crumbling walls, missing floors, and decades of exposure have left the Kaleden Hotel in a fragile state. The community is racing against time to preserve what’s left of this rare piece of Okanagan and BC history.Will Kaleden’s iconic hotel be restored for future generations, or become yet another story told only through photographs and fading memories? Join us as we uncover its past—and explore its uncertain future.Now streaming on:🎥 YouTube – full video episodes & highlights🎙 Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, iHeartRadio & Apple Podcasts – audio episodes on the go.📍 What to expect From Tracks, Trails and Forgotten Tales:Ghost towns like Phoenix, Sandon & GreenwoodThe historic Kettle Valley RailwayAbandoned mines, smelters & pioneer trailsOutdoor adventure: camping, hiking & exploring BC’s backroads👉 Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and hit the bell 🔔 to join us on every journey into the past.Lost Places, Hidden Trails, Real StoriesTracks, Trails & Forgotten Tales.Follow On Our Social media:💟Website:www.exploring-dirt-with-dan-carm.com 💟Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exploring_dirt_with_dan/💟Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1169911258173771/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT☕ Support and help FUEL the adventure and help us keep exploring!Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/exploringdirtPayPal: https://www.paypal.me/exploringdirt👍 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more Canadian adventures, abandoned places, and off-the-beaten-path stories.#trackstrailsandtales #exploringdirt #ghosttowns #bchistory #abandonedmines #explorebc #adventurepodcast #kaledenhotel #kaledenbc #okanaganhistory #bchistory #historicplacesbc #heritageconservation #okanaganvalley #historicruins #abandonedplacesbc #saveourhistory #preserveourpast #heritageat risk #historicbuildingsbc #skahalake #southokanagan #bcokanagan #visitbc #canadianhistory #travelbritishcolumbia #historypodcast #canadianpodcast #bcpodcast #newpodcastepisode #podcastlife #historylovers #architecturelovers #oldbuildingcharm #ruinsofhistory
