Quesnel BC began as the center for the Cariboo gold rush in the 1860s. Located 660 km (422 mi.) north of Vancouver, today it is a bustling commercial centre serving over 27,000 people. As the gateway to the North Cariboo, it is a major recreational destination for those wanting to enjoy outdoor sports and recreational activities including fly fishing, canoeing, golf, downhill and cross-country skiing, horseback riding, snow shoeing, river rafting, hiking, biking or swimming.
One popular local attraction is the Quesnel Museum - home to one of the major collections of rare Chinese artifacts in North America. The Cariboo Home exhibit and the Village Street provide a picture of pioneer life, including a general store, a school-room, barber shop, dentist's office and hospital.
