I have been to Kamloops and stayed there two or three times. I stay at the Hospitality Inn which is at the top of the valley. They have an outdoor pool and from this pool you can see the entire valley. It is so beautiful, especially in the evening, to go for a swim after a hot day (because the temperatures in the summer there really soar due to the city being between mountain ranges) and watch the sun set over a city in a valley surrounded by mountains. Truly spectacular!
