Cache Creek

Cache Creek is a village in British Columbia's Thompson-Nicola Regional District situated where major highways intersect. The settlement sits at about 396 meters elevation in a semi-arid region and functions as a stopping point for travelers passing through.

The village rose to prominence during the Cariboo Gold Rush of the 1860s when it supplied miners heading to goldfields in the region. This era of prospecting activity established it as a key supply hub that shaped the settlement's development.

The community reflects both First Nations traditions and settler roots through local events and celebrations that bring people together. You can see these different influences in how residents gather and mark important occasions throughout the year.

The village provides fuel stations, restaurants, lodging, and shops along the main routes for travelers passing through. You'll find the essentials you need for a brief stop here.

The area experiences some of Canada's hottest summer temperatures due to its location in a dry region of the province. This intense heat shapes the landscape and daily routines of people living here.
