The Cariboo is a gorgeous region of British Columbia. It spreads out over 12,600,000 hectares, more than 31,000,000 acres. Within this wilderness region, one will find 8,000 lakes and 17,000 km of waterways such as rivers and streams. Stunning vistas, dramatic landscapes and rock formations, and thick forests are the order of the day, and the truly adventurous who reaches the mountain peaks may be treated the site of ice fields and alpine-like meadows.
