Sicamous, BC is a small town in Canada, at the northeastern side of the Thompson-Okanagan region of the British Columbia province. If you are coming in from the East this is where you would turn south to head into the Okanagan. The town has a pretty relaxed atmosphere, and is best known for Shuswap lake, where house boating is very popular.

Hitching out

West toward Salmon Arm, Kamloops, and Vancouver on (Hwy-1)

(2024) took about 30 minutes, got a ride to Kamloops waited on the NW side of the traffic light where 97A connects to transcanada (hwy 1). Might be worth it to stand on the NE side of traffic light to catch all traffic headed to kamloops or Kelowna if you're headed towards Vancouver. regardless got a friendly vibe from all the drivers passing.

East toward Revelstoke, Calgary on (Hwy-1)

(2024)Hitched from the Eastbound side of road after the A&W entrance. (across from a car shop just past the tim hortons).Some space to pull over. took 15 minutes to get a ride to crazy creek (spa in the middle of nowhere). From there another 15 minutes and was Calgary bound!Most cars were flying by but there was no space to pull over anywhere near the lights (if i recall correctly).

South toward Okanagan, Enderby, and Vernon on (Hwy-97A)
