Getting orientated with Kamloops today, we took a long gentle stroll along the river Thomson and watched the salmon jumping right out of the water for flies. It is amazing that these fish swim 300km upstream from the sea to spawn!
The Kamloops vegetation is unlike anything we have seen across the entire country. It consists of a long glacial valley with rolling hills on either side of the valley and evidence of glacial moraine from thousands of years ago. Much of the landscape is barren, dry and brown. Few trees grow and the hills contain many gravel slopes. The rest of Canada is so green. This must be the no rain zone between The Rockies on the east and the Coastal Mountains on the west.
