In
the heart of the High Country region is the city of Kamloops.
This city of over 75,000, called the "meeting place" from
the Shuswap Indian word. Located in a valley where the North
and South Thompson Rivers meet, as well as three major highways
and two rail lines.
There is something for the whole family
all year in the Kamloops area. It enjoys over 2000 hours of
sunshine per year, and with that you can enjoy excellent golfing on
one of the five 18 hole courses all within 10-15 minutes drive from
the city centre. Hiking trials abound in Wells Gray National
Park which is a short drive north of Kamloops, and to the east is
Shuswap Lake the houseboat capital of Canada.
The
Kamloops Wildlife Park is home to over 65 species of local and endangered
animals. In the city stroll along the riverside where you can
dine at street side cafes and restaurants and shop for local products.
World class fishing in one of hundreds
of lakes and streams is only 20 minutes from town. Kamloops
recently hosted 19 countries in the World Fly Fishing Championships.
In
the winter months you can enjoy spectacular alpine and cross country
skiing on marked trails or you can cut your own.
Not
only is Kamloops known for being a farming and ranching area which
has its own cattle brand, in the early 80s a test crop
of ginseng was started and has now become a large cash crop for the
area farmers. You will notice in the fields black awnings that
cover miles of farmland to protect the crop. Guest ranches are scattered
throughout the region where you can experience the outdoor life and
even a cattle drive or two in the fall.
