Cariboo"I can never love the Cariboo enough for all she gave to me. Mounted on a cowpony I roamed the land, not knowing where I went -- to be alive, going, that was enough." - Emily Carr
The Cariboo was a land born of dreams... dreams of
discovery, yellow dust and instant riches. In 1862, Billy Barker found
gold on Williams Creek, a discovery that started a rush of adventurers
from around the world. Between 1862 and 1870, over 10,000 people
traversed the Cariboo Waggon Road. From Lillooet to Barkerville, they
traveled north and towns sprung up in their wake. Travelling from:
Vancouver Trans-Canada Hwy.1 Fraser Canyon to Cache Creek & Cariboo Hwy.97 north or Sea to Sky Highway (#99) over the magnificent Duffy Lake Road to Lillooet, Clinton, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, and Quesnel. Rocky Mountaineers "Whistler Mountaineer" from North Vancouver to Whistler and the "Fraser Discovery Route" train to Quesnel. Central Mountain Air and Pacific Coastal Airlines have daily flights to Williams Lake and Quesnel
