What to see around Kamloops

If you are coming from abroad to get tattooed, you might as well enjoy the surroundings which offers various landscapes that range from the Rockies to the Pacific Ocean, from deserts to ski resorts. Kamloops in itself is rich in astonishing view points and is a labyrinth of trails for nature lovers, thus the reason why I decided to establish here. But if you have the time for a little road trip, here are my favorite spots so far and the average time it takes to reach it from Kamloops:
