Topography of Canada's settlements

[Metro-One]

Kamloops and many BC interior towns have very cool topography. Many dry desert like gullies and cliffs are everywhere.

Kamloops is also the confluence of two major rivers at the city's heart. At river level the elevation is 340 meters. Suburban developments soar up into the surrounding hills as high as 885 meters in the southwest corner of the city.

That is an elevation difference of 545 meters.

Kelowna goes from 342 at lake level to many townhouse developments above 600 meters.

These are built up areas and do not count mountain parks within civic borders.
