Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Region
North of the ranching town of Williams Lake (540km, 338 miles north of Vancouver) lie the vast tracts of untamed lakeland, forest and wilderness of the Cariboo. The arid, desert-like terrain is best known for its guest ranch accommodations and winter lodge facilities. Heli-skiing is a favourite activity in the Cariboo and Chilcotin Ranges. Backcountry excursions into BC’s mountains are best planned through trained and experienced outfitters. Near William’s Lake, 100 Mile House is an historic marker of the Cariboo Gold Rush days, when pioneers measured journeys by the distance of a day’s horse ride and the relative distance from the Gold Rush town of Lillooet, otherwise known as ‘Mile 0’.
