 Isaac Lake, Bowron Lake Provincial Park Sweeping across the great wilderness, you'll encounter rolling grasslands and dense forests; snow-capped mountain peaks and lush valleys; glacier-fed lakes and secluded saltwater inlets. Thousands of lakes and rivers wind through the region. There are numerous islands and some astonishing fjords cutting inland from the Pacific Ocean. The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region is sparsely populated, with most of the region's residents living in and around the three largest cities of Williams Lake, Quesnel and 100 Mile House. BC's largest provincial park, Tweedsmuir, offers one of the region's most dramatic landscapes. The 981,000-ha (2.4 million-ac) park entrances visitors with the volcanic Rainbow Mountains, high elevation pine forests, ice-capped peaks and dramatic waterfalls. The region is also home to Mount Waddington, the highest mountain situated entirely in BC.
