Ground fog on my way into work early this morning had me smiling and thinking about opening day for the 2026/27 ski season on November 21! We can't wait - how about you? Need accommodation? Book direct at bestsunpeaks.com and save.

Another photo of the scenic hoodoos near Kamloops that we saw while traveling between wineries, which are striking pillar-like rock spires carved from thick layers of sediment left behind by ancient glacial lakes, eroded by thousands of years of wind, rain, and melting ice after the last ice age. They are capped by a harder layer of rock on top, which acts as a protective shield. This hard “cap rock” protects the softer pillar directly beneath it, allowing the structures to maintain their tall, dramatic height.

These dramatic silt and rock structures are on the reserve land of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc people (formerly known as the Kamloops Indian Band) and visitors are always advised to respect their land, stay on the road, and absolutely do not climb the structures. And of course, watch out for the other locals, including these California Bighorn Sheep, as well as some wild horses, that can frequently be seen as you travel along Shuswap Road.

Thankfully no wildfires anywhere near Sun Peaks, but unfortunately the smoke from fires hundreds of kilometers away arrived here and has taken away our sunshine temporarily. There is a clearing trend on the way, but what better way to escape the smoke and chill a bit then to head to Wells Gray Provincial Park and run behind Moul Falls. The air was very clear, and the waterfall was beautiful as always! It’s an easy drive from Sun Peaks and the many easily-accessible waterfalls there are spectacular!

If you’re looking for something fun and delicious to do while in Sun Peaks or the Kamloops, area, go see Nic! He is the son of the founders and also the winemaker at Sagewood Winery, which is a lovely, family-run boutique winery and part of the Kamloops Wine Trail. Their wines are great and they need to make room in their small winery for the harvest of their grapes and the production of this year’s wines. Enjoy a taste and take home a few bottles (or more) of your favorites so Nic has room to work in their small tasting room/production facility. They are located on Shuswap Road, and while there, check out the newest addition to the area, Lion’s Head Meadery, with a selection of wonderful honey-based wines and of course, several different types of fresh honey to sample and purchase. And if you’re lucky you might get to see the local California Big Horn Sheep while driving the scenic route to the wineries.

Great to see Kevin Tessier back with the Sun Peaks Voyageur Canoe Tours on McGillivray Lake this summer! The NorthWest Voyageur company was first established in 1999 with the goal of providing Sun Peaks guests with guided, fun canoe tours that show off our beautiful alpine lake while explaining the history of the Voyageurs who expanded the west during the early days of the fur trade in the area. After a several year hiatus, they are back and we are thrilled to welcome them back! Book a family-friendly tour today - https://www.bestsunpeaks.com/voyageur-canoe-adventure-tours.html
