Traveling to Oliver by RV

The highway connects directly to Highway 3 (Crowsnest) about 15 minutes south in Osoyoos, making Oliver a convenient stop for cross-country travelers.

Winter travelers should note that some secondary roads to smaller facilities may have ice conditions, though Highway 97 stays well-maintained year-round. Border crossers heading to Washington State will find Osoyoos just 15 minutes south with additional dump options before crossing.
