Clinton: Highway 97 about 8 km north of - just before Big Bar rest area, looking north

Tucked into the dry grasslands of British Columbia’s Cariboo Plateau, Clinton is a place whose character is shaped by open range country and a climate markedly drier than the province’s coast. The community lies on Highway 97, a route following part of the historic Cariboo Wagon Road corridor through the Interior. Clinton developed as a stopping point during the Cariboo Gold Rush, when travellers, freight and stagecoaches headed north toward the goldfields. Its small centre and surrounding ranchland still reflect that Interior heritage, while nearby Chasm Provincial Park is known for its deep, layered canyon.

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
