farmland of the Pemberton Valley, to the desert-like conditions of the Fraser Canyon, and the Cariboo Plateau with its
rolling hills and vast ranchlands. Highlights include the shorelines of Anderson Lake and glacial-fed Seton Lake,

to the north by the steeply rising Rocky Mountains and to the south by the
