Kamloops a hidden Canadian gem

KAMLOOPS – According to a recent online poll Kamloops is one of Canada’s hidden gems, often glossed over by travel sites and guides.

In a recent online poll of Buzzfeed readers Kamloops was named one of the 20 top underrated places in Canada, along with Wawa, Ont., Dempster Highway, Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo Jump, Alta. and Haida Gwaii.

Kamloops came in at number nine and was nominated by emmy1994, who described the city as, “two rivers meeting and a thousand mountains!”

Earlier this year Kamloops was also rated as one of the top romantic cities in Canada by amazon.ca based on the purchase of romance novels, relationship books, romantic comedy DVDs and romantic CDs.
