The rolling ranching country and immense forests of British Columbia’s interior plateau extends north from Lillooet between the Coast Mountains to the west and the Cariboo Mountains in the east: it is known as the Cariboo.

Gold rush history

The region became prominent with the discovery of gold and, between 1862 and 1870, over 100,000 people traveled from Lillooet along the Cariboo wagon road to the gold fields. A number of roadhouses were built to supply this human tide, 100 Mile House was originally one of these stopping points, so named because it was located 100 miles from Lillooet.

Other settlements established at this time include Clinton, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Barkerville which, as a restored gold rush town, is the most atmospheric.

As the gold rush subsided some prospectors stayed to farm the land: today this is prime ranching country, criss-crossed by the canyons and ravines of the Fraser and Thompson rivers.
