The Kaoham Shuttle is an amazing train trip along the shores of Seton Lake, incorporating culture and history, train memorabilia, and wildlife viewing and bird watching.
It provides a great opportunity to see California bighorn sheep, bear, deer and a variety of waterfowl and raptor birds.
The Kaoham Shuttle offers charter service, sight seeing tours, and a daily run to nearby communities of Shalalth, D'Arcy and Seton Portage (with extra runs on Friday). Winding along the sharpest curve on the CN Rail Line and through the third longest tunnel on the CN Rail line (at 1,220m/4,000ft), the Kaoham Shuttle passes numerous sites of historical importance.
The scenic trip takes one hour from Lillooet to Seton Portage with the option of staying in Seton Portage or returning to Lillooet.

Historic Sites
The Bridge River Hydroelectric Development, the largest power project undertaken in British Columbia's history, is visible along the route. A First Nations cemetery sits balanced between the rail tracks and the shoreline of Seton Lake. Work is underway to prevent further erosion from the lake and preserve this important site.
Seton Portage is the location of a World War II Japanese detainment camp. One of the detainees at the camp was Dr. Masajiro Miyazaki, a US trained osteopath. Dr. Miyazaki continued to serve the Lillooet community after the war and was decorated recipient of the Order of Canada. Visit the Miyazaki Heritage House, the former home of Dr. Miyazaki, on a walking tour of Lillooet.

Built in 1861 to house the 23 Camels Frank Laumeister brought from San Francisco to serve as pack animals on the Cariboo Trail to the gold fields. The project failed, but the barn survived: briefly as a mortician's storehouse, then from 1938 as the Log Cabin Movie Theatre. It closed in 1985 and has been reopened as an historic building, a performance space and a gift shop. It contains the original theatre seating, the projectors and a 24x11 ft. wide screen.
