At
one time Lillooet was the largest settlement in British
Columbia. It's importance is evident in that the Mile
"0" Cairn that marks the beginning of the famous
Cariboo Trail is placed
in Lillooet. Miners and traders used this route to the British
Columbia interior and it was vitally important during the
Cariboo Gold Rush. The cairn was used as a measure for all
the mile posts to the north; 83 Mile, 100
Mile House, 150 Mile House are examples where communities
have grown up along the Gold Rush Trail.
Lillooet it situated on the banks of BC's mighty Fraser
River, affording visitors a wonderful display of nature's
beauty. Those who arrive from the south either by rail or
road are privy to some of BC's most awe inspiring sights
- everything from roaring river canyons to majestic mountains.
