Fall at @pinanranlake_resort_official is calm, colourful, and one of the best times to be on the water 🍂 There's still time to catch it. The resort is open until October 15!

If you're planning for the Thanksgiving long weekend, this is it. Grab a cozy cabin by the lake or bring your RV. Then cast a line, take a boat out, and spend the holiday weekend at the lake just 20 minutes from Kamloops. 🌊

It kills me that people live in BC and never take the time to road trip the North Thompson Valley!

The drive from Kamloops to Valemount is one of those trips where the stops are half the fun and you can see a ton of wildlife!

Start around Kamloops with Lac du Bois Grasslands and the Kamloops Lake viewpoint, then make your way north to Johnson Lake near Barrière and stop at Teníye Local Market for a bite and a look around.

From there, spend some time around Clearwater and chase some waterfalls in Wells Gray Provincial Park before heading north through the valley. If you’re hungry make sure to stop in at the famous Log Inn Pub for some burgers and stop at little hells gate. Then make your way to Blue River for a Blue River Safari and a visit to Mud Lake.

Keep heading north and you’ll eventually reach the Valemount area, where you can stop for coffee at Vale Coffee, explore Kinbasket Lake, hike the Aloha Trail and finish the trip with Mount Robson.

Some of these are little detours off Highway 5, but that’s exactly the point! Don’t just drive through the North Thompson. Get off the highway and actually explore it.

Save this one for your next BC road trip!

If your idea of a perfect BC getaway involves a cabin, a fishing rod and getting way out into nature, save this one!

Meadow Lake Fishing Camp is the kind of spot that feels like a peaceful escape from everyday life. You’re surrounded by wilderness, staying in a cozy rustic cabin and have access to 14 lakes for fishing.

Spend your days out on the water, exploring the lakes and chasing trout, then head back to camp for a quiet night under the stars.

It’s not the kind of place you go for fancy resorts or a packed itinerary, you go here to unplug, fish, breathe some fresh air and spend a few days somewhere that feels wild.

Save this for your next fishing trip and send it to the person you’d bring with you.

Fall brings a slower pace to the Land of Hidden Waters. The air is crisp, the colours are changing, and you can often have a lake or trail to yourself. 👀

Here's what to add to your fall plans 👇

✔️ See a few of Wells Gray's 42+ named waterfalls
✔️ Spend a morning fishing on a quiet lake
✔️ Book a cabin for the fall colours
✔️ Catch the Salute to the Sockeye Festival from Oct 9–25 near Kamloops
