Chilko River

The Chilko River joins the Chilcotin River just west of Alexis Creek BC in the Chilcotin area of BC.  This time of year the Chilko River is an incredible colour.  Chilko Lake must also be very beautiful right now, if I had time I would love to take a trip through that way, but the brief glimpse you can get of the Chilko along  Young Road, just west of Bull Canyon will have to do for now.  If you are driving to Bella Coola you can take Young Road (gravel and bit muddy when wet) and see the Chilko and Chilcotin Rivers and still get back on Highway 20 about - 15-20 km later. The Chilko River is well known for the sockeye salmon run that migrates through it to get to Chilko Lake.  Grizzly

  1. And most of that colour comes from the Taseko River, http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8494388, Chilcotin is one of my favourite places, too hard to get to from Victoria!!
