ITINERARY:
Day One: Okanagan to Quesnel, B.C.
Visit with fellow companions as we travel through the Okanagan to Kamloops & Cache Creek and then follow the Cariboo Highway into Quesnel. Once the lively way-station on the route to the gold fields, Quesnel is now a major lumber, mining, cattle ranching & tourist centre in B.C.'s Interior. Modelled after the paddlewheelers that plied the Fraser River during the gold rush of the late 1800's, the Billy Barker Casino Hotel is a unique part of the city and also your home for the next 2 nights. Each room has its own style, reminiscent of the late 1800's; when Billy Barker came to town. Your stay will be memorable as you relive his experience. Try your luck this evening in the 6,000 sq.ft. Billy Barker Casino, offering a classic gaming atmosphere which is themed with the rest of the hotel. Have a wonderful evening.
