Highway 97:
Village of Clinton, BC.
Highway pullout and Visitor Information Direction Center. This community, with its colorful history of well over 100 years and its unique western atmosphere, was founded as a direct result of the 'boom' of the Cariboo Gold Rush. Known as the “Gateway to the Cariboo,” it sits at the junction of two historic routes to the gold fields: the original wagon road that ran from Harrison Lake and through Lillooet, and its replacement, the Cariboo Waggon Road, which was called “the eighth wonder of the world” in its day.
