The pioneer trail that carried gold seekers north during the Cariboo Gold Rush still remains in many places. Built in 1861, it begins in
Lillooet, where a cairn marks the spot from which all mileages are calculated. Road houses gave their names to towns that remain today, such as
70 Mile House,
100 Mile House, and
108 Mile House. The road stretched to
Barkerville, preserved today as a heritage site.
