This weekend event is not only a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Cariboo terrain, but also many of the natural and cultural special spots of the region. Here are a few recommendations for stops in your way in and out:

• Hike along Chasm Provincial Park, a local secret. Follow the eastern edge of the Chasm enjoying endless panoramic views and the special geology of the site.
• Green Lake has multiple sites including beaches and campgrounds, called the Caribbean of the Cariboo, with very spectacular colors that do justice to its name.
• Kelly Lake at Downing Provincial Park, its First Nation’s name means White Earth Lake, from it’s beautiful white shorelines and clear waters.
• 108 Heritage Site is in your way to Lac La Hache, a nice historic site located on the side of the highway dating to 1867.

We hope to see you all here!”
