Once you've made the rather steep climb to Battle Bluff, a breathtaking view of Kamloops Lake, the surrounding mountains, and Kamloops to your left awaits you alongside an imposing cairn. The light conditions are especially beautiful at sunset, but remember to descend before it gets really dark. Also, since cougars are native to this area.
The name of the lookout rock probably goes back to First Nations battles. Below the lookout and about 15 meters above the water's edge of Kamloops Lake, red markers made of paint indicate the blood that is said to have been spilled here. The markers are only accessible by boat.
