Kamloops - Center of the Universe.

One hundred kilometers north of Kamloops, located at the tip of Vidette Lake, a fishing lodge called “Vidette Gold Mine Resort” is nestled between the trees. Located on this resort’s property, high above the lodge is a small knoll with a most unusual claim. This spot at the confluence of three valleys is considered the Center of the Universe.

What seems to be, at first glance, an outrageous claim, soon warrants re-consideration when one is confronted with the incredible facts and interesting anecdotes.

Geography

Just west of Savona, the Deadman-Vidette road follows the south-flowing Deadman River, up through the Skeetchestn Nation. The Valley is remarkable in its serene beauty and incredible colouration of red lava and white Mazama volcanic ash in the cliff formations bordering the valley.
