If you could take a bag and put history, scenery, rivers, hills, music, sports, swimming, hiking, biking, skiing facilities and geological keepsakes in it and then empty it in Canada, you’ll get Kamloops. First inhabited in fifteenth century, Kamloops is a city in British Columbia (Canada) and is located at the confluence of the two streams of Thompson River near the city’s homonymous lake. When it comes to mesmerize the visitors with breathtaking scenery, this Canadian city seems to be in league of its own. It is just as exemplary when to comes to hosting various sports tournaments and championships like Strauss Canada Cup of Curling, Skate Canada, World Fly Fishing Championships, Tim Horton's Olympic Qualifying Bike Race, and World Junior Hockey Championships- no wonders it dons the title of the Tournament Capital of Canada.
Visitors would be particularly impressed with the city’s musical concerts and a consistent range of swimming, hiking, biking and skiing facilities. For the more staid nature lovers, a specific mention needs to be made of the nature parks here like British Columbia Wildlife Park, Lac Du Bois Grasslands Protected Area, MacArthur Island Park and Riverside Park. Kamloops has a reputation of delighting everyone who comes to it and is thus a superb catch for anyone who would prefer it over traditional or more famous tourist destinations.
