The Thompson area, is known as High Country and the Okanagan Valley is BC's fruit and wine country. This region offers wonderful sites to see and activities to do. From Valemount in the north to Osoyoos in the south and Spences Bridge in the west to Malakwa in the east. Along with hundreds of lakes combined with one of the finest weather in BC makes the Okanagan Valley an excellent vacation destination, whether going houseboating on the Shuswap, river-rafting on the Thompson or taking a winery tour in the Okanagan. Mountain peaks tower above lakes, dominating the skyline in almost every direction.
