Cariboo Road

The Cariboo Road is a historic route in British Columbia, Canada, originally built in the late 1850s during the Cariboo Gold Rush. It connected the gold-mining regions of the Cariboo district to the main population center of New Westminster, facilitating access to gold fields and supporting the influx of prospectors and settlers. The road was crucial for transporting goods and people, contributing significantly to the development of the region. Today, parts of the Cariboo Road are preserved as a heritage route, reflecting its importance in shaping British Columbia's history and economy.
