For all the times i have played Sun Rivers, never have i had the opportunity to witness all the Big Horn sheep. There must have been 40+ grazing and roaming thru the 9th hole as the video clip below will show.

What a site to see. But do not get too close!!!

Kamloops - Riverside Park Beach

View a larger image on flickr.com

Riverside Park is a large city park with a number of amenities not offered at the other Kamloops beaches including:
• washroom facilities,
• concession stand (varying hours),
• beach with a life guard,
• a number of picnic tables and benches,
• kids water park,
• tennis courts,
• two playgrounds,
• large trees for shade,
• open grass areas,
• a pier,
• and is within easy walking distance to an ice cream shop (Scoopz) and a number of restaurants - yummy!

 This is a great family beach and this is where I’d recommend if you’re traveling with your family and have no dogs.

Riverside Park is beautiful and I love to have a picnic there and then walk up to Scoopz to grab an ice cream.

If your legs are worn out from skiing, a great alternative is a dog sledding trip at the Sun Peaks Ski Resort, you even get to mush your own sled.

I took a trip up to the Sun Peaks Ski Resort near Kamloops, BC, and just happened to arrive during their annual Ice Wine Festival.. The festival features the best wines and foods of the Okanagan, the chocolate was pretty good as well!

I got a little adventurous at the suggestion of a local.  I travelled to Sun Peaks Resort near Kamloops and gave downhill mountain biking a try.  The adrenaline was pumping, the view was spectacular and it was a GREAT time!

 A favourite drive of mine is from Kamloops to Barriere along the less travelled Westsyde Road where remnants of the disatrous forest fires of 2003 are very visible. The trees are blackened and skeletal but the rebirth of the land is clear. Grass is vibrant green wildflowers abound and new forest growth is already apparent.
