Kamloops

Aboriginal for 'meeting of the waters', Kamloops makes its home in the Thompson Valley at the confluence of the North and South Thompson rivers in south central British Columbia. The city is characterized by hot, bright summers and mild, snow-filled winters. During the warmer months, golfers invade for a chance to play at one of the many championship courses. Sun Peaks and Silver Star resorts guarantee that winter enthusiasts get to enjoy great skiing and snowboarding. On top of this, Kamloops has literally thousands of lakes, spectacular landscapes and endless blue skies.
