"Smile you're in 100 Mile" is the motto of this friendly community who welcomes all! 100 Mile House began as a rest stop for travellers along the Cariboo Waggon Trail during the excitement of the gold rush in the 1860s. Remnants from the village's days-of-yore still exist in the form of an original red Barnard Express stagecoach located at the north end of town.
Activities:
There are quite a few things to do here for the outdoors type. Hiking, skiing, fishing and golf are to just name a few. This interior community's small population limits the number of activities that it offers.
2.5/5
Events:
Outside of the usual holiday events and the other small events like art shows, farmers markets and craft fairs, the only really notable event is the "Cariboo Cross-Country Ski Marathon" held on the first weekend in February.

View:
Nestled in at the south end of the interior plateau you get more hills than actual mountains to look at. Plenty of deer and other smaller animals though and the lakes are beautiful in the area. As a "rest" stop on the Gold Rush trail there are plenty of historic sites to see.
2.5/5
Accommodations:
A good variety of accommodations can be found from hotels, camping to B&B's Dude Ranch's and Spa Resorts. Prices can vary and there is not a big selection in each category but at least there is something for each one.
3.0/5
Dinning & Shopping:
A few local restaurants and not a big variety that is very much expected of smaller cities. Not a big shopping community either as there is not much more than what is necessary.
2.5/5
Visit-ability:
great place to stop on your way through and check out the local history, or if you are attending the Ski Marathon. Otherwise there is not a lot here that would bring people in.

Total Rating: 14.5/30
Thoughts:
No my first choice of places to go, I like the history of the town and could spend a couple of hours taking a break and learning about the Gold Rush or even spend a coupl eof nights at a Ranch or Resort. Otherwise it is just a place to gas up on your way North or South along the highway.
