Diverse landscapes and distinct flavours. One unforgettable trail.
The Cariboo Ale Trail stretches across one of British Columbia’s most storied and untamed regions — from the rugged central interior all the way to the sun-drenched south, passing through towering forests, rolling ranchlands, breathtaking mountain plateaus, and semi-desert valleys. This is big country, made for epic road trips. And throughout it all, the distinct character of each community finds its way into the glass — every pint on the Cariboo Ale Trail is a true taste of place.
Begin your journey in Quesnel, gateway to the historic Cariboo Gold Rush Trail, where the landscape is vast, the skies are wide open, and the connection to the natural world runs deep. Travel south to Williams Lake — the heart of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast — where cowboy culture is alive and well, and mountain bike trails, paddling routes, and backcountry lakes reward those who venture off the highway.
Continue on to 100 Mile House, nestled on the Fraser Plateau between the Coastal and Rocky Mountain ranges, where every season brings a new reason to get outside and explore. Complete your journey in Lillooet, where hot, dry summers, abundant sunshine, and a dramatic semi-desert landscape create a striking finale to a remarkable adventure.
