Afternoon

Take a hike in Kenna Cartwright Park, home to 40km of trails that lead to various panoramic viewpoints of Kamloops. It's the largest municipal park in BC and the perfect spot for an afternoon stroll to catch a sunset as you head into the evening - the Sunset Trail is perfect for this.

Evening

Venture on an apres craft brew tour on BC Ale Trail's newest trail. Stop in at Kamloops' 3 microbreweries and sip their fun fall flavours paired perfectly with unique eats.
