The Nicola Valley is a large flat grassland that lies between two ranges of hills. It is covered in trails, both Indigenous and HBC brigade trails, and everyone who worked at #Kamloops or who rode out with the Brigades rode through this valley. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/nicola-valley/ -
