Nature
Mount Ida, known to the Secwépemc as Kela7scen, is a 1,574-metre mountain in the Shuswap Highland of British Columbia that rises south of Salmon Arm and overlooks the city. Its profile has been likened to a defensive palisade. Beyond its prominent physical presence, the mountain holds deep and longstanding meaning for the people of the area. For the Secwépemc, who associate its name with its funny coloured rocks, Kela7scen is sacred ground and has been significant since time immemorial.
