Camping Tips: Backcountry Check List
| |
While BC is famous for vehicle-accessible campsites and gentle adventures, our backcountry experiences are gaining prominence. That's thanks in part to a new registration system that allows campers to get permits before their trip.
New to backcountry camping? "Backcountry" refers to an area in a park or recreation area that is primarily for wilderness hiking and backpacking. This "next level" of camping offers many advantages, such as more physically challenging terrain, and access to secret spots where often the eagles and the bears are your only companions.

Event: Pacific National Exhibition (PNE)
| |
Since 1910, millions of guests have enjoyed exhibits, sporting events, amusement rides, concerts, cultural activities and, of course, the annual summer Fair at the PNE. Today, the PNE is the longest running and best attended annual ticketed event in BC and the site of hundreds of famous events - from a live performance from the Beatles to the historic Miracle Mile.
Over the past 101 years, the PNE has evolved from its role as an industry showcase into a centre for entertainment and family fun. World class and award-winning shows such as Cirque Pop, City Rhythm and Bring on the Night were all created especially, and exclusively for the PNE.

Circle Tour Route:
Gold Rush Trail |
 The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Region of BC is both big and small, and that's good news. Big because its 117,500 square kilometres contain spectacular topography, over 8,000 lakes, golden plains, craggy peaks, and gorgeous wildlife. Small because only an estimated 73,000 people live here. And good because these factors give vacationers an unmatched sense of
grandeur and fun.
The best way to explore the vast Cariboo Chillcotin Region is by road, with highways and endless backroads leading to hidden gems throughout. One popular route is the famous Cariboo Gold Rush Trail.
