This photo shows the Kamloops Valley, the second-most populous area in the Thompson-Okanagan Plateau. The landscape here shows the typical range of vegetation here, with savanna and grasslands at the lower elevations and open forests at higher elevations. The broad valley in between hillier terrain, and moderate intensity of land use are also both typical of this region.
