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.
