Located in the heart of British Columbia’s interior, Kamloops is perfectly suited as the overnight stop between Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies. Set in Canada’s only semi-arid desert with a fascinating hillside landscape, Kamloops is the transportation hub of the province. The name itself, Kamloops, is derived from a Shuswap Indian word meaning “meeting place” referring to the joining of the North and South Thompson Rivers on which the town is located.

Kamloops also offers Rocky Mountaineer’s popular dinner theatre performance, Rhythms on the Rails.
