Can you identify this windy trail please on a mountain slope? I remember driving a motor vehicle. I do not remember hiking up a mountain to take this picture, in Similkameen Valley B.C. in May 2010.

Helen Mills confirms this is Hedley. She wrote

The 4.5 hour tour started at the Snaza'ist Discovery Centre in Hedley with a short film, then we took a mini bus up the 13km winding Nickel Plate Forest Road with a suberb guide - she talked just about the whole way - explaining the history, the landscape, the stories, First Nation lore - she was fascinating and so enthusiastic and went a long way to making the tour just so great!

The winding road up the hill (if only it were paved it would make an awesome biking road!!)

Google Lens finds a number of hits for images clearly taken in the same location (using Chrome, right-click on the image and select "Search Image with Google").

The results include a stock image site that has a photos taken "near Old Mining Town of Hedley, BC, British Columbia, Canada" which narrows it down a little.

The Lens results also include the website of Princeton Real Estate, and specifically their page for Hedley, which includes a photo very similar to yours under the heading "Nickel Plate Mine", and with the image alternate tag of "Nickel Plate Mine Road".

Google Maps shows that Nickel Plate Mine Road is located near Hedley, and shortly after it leaves the main road there are a number of switchbacks that match those shown in your photo. Unfortunately there is no Google StreetView, nor any other images tagged with a similar location that Google Maps shows, that would allow you to confirm the exact location - but it's very clearly along that road.

Youtube had this video and several others that shows similar view and again pretty much confirms the location.
