Wat je gaat doen
The perfect stopping point midway on your journey between Vancouver BC & Banff or Jasper, break up your day with a quick hike to stretch your legs. We will gather on the Kamloops Waterfront at Riverside Park. In Secwepemc, our local indigenous language, Tk’emlúps literally means "where the two rivers" meet. Once everyone has arrived, we will head up town for an easy walking tour through our spectacularly unusual desert grassland hillside, culminating in a sweeping vista of the entire city of Kamloops, including a bird's eye view of the recently experienced waterfront where the North and South Thompson Rivers meet. Good for all fitness levels, the gravel paths are wide and well cared for by the city of Kamloops. Afterwards we will visit a Ginseng Factory for a personal guided tour of their growing beds, learning how ginseng is planted, maintained and why it is so beneficial for your health. We will finish with a visit to the Ginseng store where token gifts, teas, candies and herbals can be purchased for yourself or friends at home. If you have time, please book to join us for our afternoon activity; spotting native big horn sheep with a gourmet picnic lunch and Local BC Winery Tour.
