Lillooet...Mile 0 of the Gold Rush Trail

by Darby2 - last update: May 28, 2005

Lillooet from the air
Lillooet is steeped in the early history of B.C.'s Gold Rush into the Cariboo and Barkerville. It represents the Mile 0 starting point.
The hottest ever temperature in Canada was recorded in Lillooet, more than 112 F. (45C)
Those dark rectcangular shapes in the left side of the photo are fields of ginseng growin under screens.

More to come....

Fountain Gorge, Fraser River

Fountain Gorge

Further up the Fraser, is Bridge River...considered by many to be the "Yosemite of Canada"

I couldn't agree more.
