Cariboo Chilcotin Coast


The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast is a land of big adventure and wide-open spaces. Visit real working ranches and ride over rolling rangeland. Fish the provinces best fresh water lakes and secluded saltwater inlets. British Columbia’s wild history comes to life with rodeos, heritage villages and historic First Nations communities. In the 1800s miners from all over the world rushed to the Cariboo Chilcotin. The small towns boomed into cities almost overnight with men eager to strike it rich in the gold fi elds. Gold fever had hit British Columbia and with it came a legendary era of saloons, cowboys and Wild West frontier adventure. Eventually, the gold rush died out. With it went the miners and the bustling cities soon turned into empty buildings. Today, the legends and ghost towns have been faithfully brought back to life in towns like Barkerville, but the frontier adventure has always been alive and well.
