	Cariboo Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cariboo Road (also called the Cariboo Wagon Road, the Great North Road or the Queen's Highway) was a project initiated in 1862 by the colonial Governor of British Columbia, James Douglas.
		The name Cariboo Road is also informally applied to a toll-road built by contractor Gustavus von Blint from Lillooet to Alexandria when the Lakes Route from Port Douglas to Lillooet had not yet been superseded by the Fraser Canyon route of the Cariboo Wagon Road proper.
		The mile-house names in the Cariboo are derived from measurements taken from the Mile '0' of this road, which is in the bend in the Main Street of Lillooet and commemorated there by a cairn erected in the 1958 Centennial Year.
