Traveling to Yale looked a little different back in the days of the Cariboo Wagon Road. This mode of travel must've seemed like a luxury compared to the foot paths the Indigenous communities and early explorers would travel along cliff ledges!

Always a pleasure to visit and recommend your site. You do an incredible job of sharing BC history! @DestinationBC @travelthecanyon #daytrip @DistrictofHope @TOTABCNews
Instead of spending a day exploring Yale you can now spend the night in the historic Johnny Ward Guest House built in 1880's.

Up the Fraser, on a remote and hard-to-access patch of land north of #YaleBC, there's a stand of trees that don’t belong anywhere near there, but on southern Vancouver Island.
How did they get there? Daniel Marshall investigates. #bchistory theorca.ca/resident-pod/the-…

Heads-up #BCHwy1 travellers in the #FraserCanyon - @bchydro is doing some work (off the highway) between #YaleBC and #BostonBarBC. No disruption to motorists expected except the lights may be out in some tunnels. Please turn on your headlights and drive with care.

#MyBCRoads Highway History! One of the biggest road projects was the BC portion of the Trans-Canada Hwy. BC's terrain was rougher than other provinces, and the Fraser Valley above Yale was one of the hardest sections. #bcroadbuilders 📸: @HistoricYale
