Lillooet is a border community joining British Columbia's Cariboo Chilcotin Coast and Vancouver Coastal Mountains regions. The community has excellent paved access to the interior of the province as well as to all points south. It is an entrance to the Sea to Sky corridor. While most visitors to Lillooet travel by car, rail travel, air travel, and public transportation are also options.

Car Travel

Lillooet is just 31km/81mi from Whistler along scenic Highway 99, also known as Duffy Lake Road, providing convenient road access from Lillooet to the site of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.  Cache Creek is 90km/55mi farther along Highway 99, northeast of Lillooet.  Centrally located, Lillooet also offers paved access south to Lytton and the Trans-Canada Highway via Highway 12 (64km/40mi), and west to Gold Bridge (110km/68mi) on Highway 40.

While the Visitor Centre, Jade Trail, farmers' market, and rain station are all within walking distance of most downtown accommodations, a car is needed to visit parks and some of the historic sites. Vehicle rentals are available at nearby Cache Creek and Whistler. Good snow tires are recommended for driving in winter as road conditions can be dangerous.  

Public Transportation
