Stories of the Gold Rush

Stories of the Gold Rush era—and the routes that led proprietors, miners, and the people who “mined the miners” to the province’s gold fields—have long lured adventurers to British Columbia. “Gold fever” spawned communities seemingly overnight along the Cariboo Gold Rush Trail, and while most towns disappeared as quickly as they emerged, some have lingered, attracting visitors to this day. Visitors with mobility needs will be pleased to find a large network of accessible trails in the region.
