Description
Late afternoon sunshine adds colour to these bluffs running along the South Thompson River. Most of the north side of the river is either Indian Reservation or farmland so there are no suburbs spoiling the view here until it joins with the North Thompson River in the centre of the city of Kamloops, BC.
The South Thompson originates at the outlet of Little Shuswap Lake at the town of Chase and flows approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi) southwest through a wide valley to Kamloops where it joins the North Thompson. Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway and the mainline of the Canadian Pacific Railway parallel the river. Little Shuswap Lake is fed by the Little River, which drains Shuswap Lake, which is fed by several rivers & creeks.
