Ts'ilʔos Provincial Park, Provincial park in Cariboo Regional District, Canada.
Ts'ilʔos Provincial Park is a large nature reserve in the Coast Mountains that covers an extensive area across varied terrain. The landscape includes glaciers, high-elevation lakes, alpine meadows, and forests that change with elevation.
The area became a protected park in 1994 after a five-year planning process that addressed conflicts between conservation and resource use. This establishment marked an important shift toward preserving the region.
Mount Tatlow holds deep meaning for the Xeni Gwet'in, and people who visit the area learn to show respect through local traditions. The relationship between the land and its original inhabitants shapes how visitors experience this place.
Two main roads branch off Highway 20 to reach campgrounds in the northern region of the park. Visitors should come prepared for remote conditions and check conditions before traveling, especially during changing weather or winter.
Chilko Lake within the park is Canada's largest natural high-elevation freshwater lake and serves as a crucial spawning ground for sockeye salmon. This water body attracts thousands of fish annually and plays a central role in the regional ecosystem.
