Shuswap Highland

, this area also includes the Spa Hills and the other isolated pockets of hills and mini-plateaus between the Thompson Plateau proper and Shuswap Lake.

The Shuswap Highland is in essence a foothill (or transitional) area between the much broader interior plateaus southwest and west of it, and the mountainous terrain of the northern Monashee and Cariboo Mountains on the east/north-east.

Climates here range from sub-alpine in the mountains, particularly the further north one goes to a semi-arid, more temperate, continental climate that is found around Shuswap Lake.
