100 Mile House, Attractions

We were astounded by the Painted Chasm just south of 100 Mile House. It seemed
like a painting, yet its vastness reminded us of a smaller version of the Grand
Canyon. It showed us the diversity in geography available throughout BC, but
especially in the Cariboo area. The colourful layers of volcanic sediments were an
exciting detail within the rock bed that displayed the power of the volcanoes and
glaciers that formed this ancient land. It really did take our breath away!
Excellent hidden gem…cheerio!

Hello everyone! We had a fantastic time in Canada and want to tell everyone about a wonderful hike we had in the South Cariboo area. Mount Begbie is about a 10 minute hike just off hwy 97, south of 100 Mile. Once at the top, there is a brilliant, two story look-out tower that gives a panoramic view of the area. My husband brought up a map with us and we were able to point out the Marble Range, the Cariboo Mountains, MANY lakes and a few deer in the valley. We had our lunch on the picnic table right on the top of the mountain! What an experience--don’t forget your binoculars!
