The vast and storied landscape of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast
...reaches from the remote wildness of the Pacific Coast to the Cariboo Mountain Range, with deep forests, hidden wild mountain lakes, craggy peaks and lush grasslands rolling through the valleys.

Here you'll find excellent guest ranches, you can canoe the Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit, visit some of the many historic sites and artistan towns, kayak the exhilerating central coast, or visit one of Canada's largest National Parks: Tweedsmuir National Park.
ATTRACTIONS:
- Cariboo Chilcotin Circle Route, B.C.
There's nothing like the feeling of climbing into a freshly packed RV and hitting the road; even better to know you'll be travelling through some of the most amazing wilderness on the Coast Cariboo Circle Route. This trek through Western Canada takes about 13 days at a leisurely pace to complete and from the feedback we've heard, will be one of the highlights of the season, and may even make it to your top-five list. Tailor made for photographers and wilderness lovers, the scenery runs from classic coastal panoramas to open foothills and mountain corridors. Odds are good to spot black bear, grizzly, deer, sheep, moose, and, depending on the time of year, killer whales.
- Great Bear Rainforest, Cariboo / Chilcotin, B.C.
The Great Bear Rainforest(GBR) houses 50 percent of Canada's endangered Grizzly bears, alongside the Kermode "Spirit" bear - a subspecies of the Black bear. With a supreme location just north of Knight Inlet and down to the Princess Royal Island, GBR is one of the largest areas of temperate rainforests, taking up 1.2 percent of Canada's land mass. Sizing at 6.5 million hectares (25 percent of the world's rainforests) it provides homes for many wildlife and plants.
