Why not follow the Cariboo's dogsled circuit - and join us for the Cariboo Challenge/Gawthorn and then the following week head up to Quesnel, BC to be a part of the historic Gold Rush Mail Run! Mushers are sworn in as official Canada post carriers for the event and carry authentic envelopes that are stamped "carried by dogsled" as they travel along the historic gold rush trail from Quesnel to Barkerville.
