The Cariboo Chilcotin region is a vast and deeply historic slice of the British Columbia landscape.
About the Cariboo Chilcotin Area
 From the early draw of the Gold Rush to the current allure of unbeatable outdoor recreation and adventure, this stretch of BC that reaches from near the Alberta border all the way up north to Prince George is as diverse scenically as it is culturally.
Born of the Gold Rush in the 1800’s when miners from all over the world descended upon the area to seek their fortune in the gold fields, small towns grew quickly into flourishing cities that eventually defined the Wild West as we know it. Gold Fever of the Cariboo Chilcotin yielded bustling towns, cowboys and saloons bursting with pioneer spirit.
Today you can still travel the well-signed Gold Rush Trail through the Cariboo Chilcotin, but where cities once teemed with industrious miners you will now find deserted ghost towns, or in the case of Barkerville, historic frontier towns that have been restored to reflect the glory days of the Gold Rush.
Activities in the Cariboo
 If it’s outdoor adventure you seek, there are a number of essential stops as you travel through the Cariboo Chilcotin region. Tweedsmuir Provincial Park boasts incredible volcanic mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, pristine lakes and rich rivers that offer up some of the best fishing in British Columbia. You will be sharing the park with Caribou, Grizzlies and Black Bears, so be sure to have your camera at hand!
Bowron Lake Provincial Park is another setting for the kind of awe-inspiring outdoor recreation that will have you coming back for more. Home to a magnificent circuit of lakes that are legendary for canoeing and kayaking, Bowron Lake Park is also an ideal location for fishing, swimming and hiking amongst countless crystal clear lakes and rivers and the spectacular colours of nature.
If you are looking for dramatic landscapes, abundant wildlife and exciting outdoor recreation when you travel Canada, then look no further than the Cariboo Chilcotin region of British Columbia.
