This stretch follows the dry valley of the Thompson River, the Little Shuswap River and then the sun-swept and cottage-cluttered south shore of Shuswap Lake. You pass through several lakeside resort towns including Sorrento, Blind Bay, and the area’s major market town of Salmon Arm. at the east end of Shuswap Lake is Sicamous famous for its houseboat fleet. East of Sicamous is the narrow and steep-walled valley of the Eagle River cutting through the magnificent Monashee Mountain Range. The highway then clings to the southern shoreline of Three Valley Lake, below some very high vertical cliffs. You also pass several family-oriented attractions on each end of the lake.
Kamloops and the Shuswap Lake region lie in the South Thompson Plateau, between the Coast Mountains and the Columbia Mountains. This means the area gets low amounts of rain, under 40 cm (1/3 as snow). The geology of the region is a combination of ancient volcanic and sedimentary rocks, some Jurassic (150 million year old) rocks, all of which were significantly scoured down by the Ice Age glaciers that retreated about 10,000 years ago. The dry climate is good for ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, grasses, sagebrush, and prickly pear cactus.
Kamloops, with 70,000 residents, is a major forestry and food processing hub in the Interior of BC as the largest area city on the Trans-Canada and at the junction of area roads, rail lines and waterways. On the north side of the river is the reserve of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, and also home of the infamous Kamloops Indian Residential School, where several hundred Indigenous children were buried in unmarked graves, discovered in 2021.
Chase lies at the western edge of Little Shuswap Lake and the head of the South Thompson River. The First Nations lands here are on both sides of the river, and along the west end of Shuswap Lake east of the Tsútswecw (Roderick Haig-Brown) Provincial Park, which is best known for its fall salmon runs.
From here eastward to Sorrento, Salmon Arm and Sicamous is the famous Shuswap Lake vacation country, best know for its thousands of houseboats rented to vacationers from Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton (and even further afar). The Trans-Canada winds along Shuswap Lake, which has over 1000 km of shoreline, and occasionally climbs up the forested hills that surround the lake (watch out for the area’s bears and deer!). You may see signs of a massive 2005 forest fire along the NW shore of the lake.
Many farms along the lake date back to the pre-highway days a century ago, when the only way to ship farm produce was using the Shuswap Lake’s paddle-wheeled steamers. Along this stretch of the highway, between Salmon Arm and Sicamous you will pass a number of fruit & vegetable stands selling locally -brown fresh produce.
East of Sicamous the Trans-Canada Highway follows the Eagle River past Malakwa (with a suspension bridge over the river) to Craigallachie where the last spike in the Canadian Pacific Railroad was driven (when crews working form the Pacific met the crew working from the prairies). The Craigalachie monument is on the south side of th highway, o westbound travellers will need to make a left-turn across oncoming traffic.
Travellers then pass a sequence of family-oriented attractions (form W to E) Beardale Miniatureland, Crazy Creek (hot pools, waterfall, bridge), Skytrek Adventure Park (zip lines),and Enchanted Forest (nursery rhyme-themed walk in the forest), and Noah’s Ark Resort. The highway passes north of Griffin Lake and on the south shore of Three Valley Lake. There are 1000 foot (300+ meter) cliffs which presented a wintertime avalanche risk to the Trans-Canada Highway ever since it was completed. To keep the highway safe, it was necessary to preventatively set of avalanches was to helicopter “bombs” to send accumulated snow down to be cleared off the highway, but that required good visibility for flying. In 2019 new sonic avalanche devices were installed at the top of the cliffs, which can be electrically set off, regardless of visibility & flying conditions.
on the east end of Three Valley Lake is Three Valley Gap hotel and resort with several attractions, including a Ghost Town, a Theatre, a railway museum, and helicopter rides. From there the highway drops elevation, passing by three small lakes (ponds?) before crossing the Columbia River over a Suspension Bridge into Revelstoke.
Just south of Shuswap Lake is the Okanagan Lake fruit-growing region with farmers markets and fruit stands around every bend and over 75 wineries, with the towns of Enderby and Armstrong (famous for its cheese factory) leading to the larger centres of Vernon and Kelowna.
There are three routes to access the Okanagan from the Trans-Canada: from east to west: 97A from Sicamous, 97B from Canoe/Salmon Arm, and 97 from Monte Creek (just east of Kamloops). You connect back to the TransCanada Highway westbound at Hope.
