100 Mile House is in the South Cariboo region of central British Columbia. It has approximately 1,890 residents in this small rural community. It is known as the "Handcrafted Log Home Capital of North America. 100 Mile House is home to the World's Largest Skis located at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre. If near the 108 Mile Ranch Heritage Site, this is a great place to visit.
Behind the visitor centre one will spy an array of antique machinery of the type used in various local industries. Immediately behind those one will spy this Time-Temp sign, mounted atop a peeled log post and frame. Behind the sign one will also find, as one would expect, the South Cariboo Recreation Centre.
The visitor centre welcomes visitors to the area, providing local and regional information. The young lady that assisted us was friendly and very helpful, even helped us find the cache located behind the visitor centre, near displays of different types of machinery. The 100 Mile House Marsh, a prime wildlife viewing area, is adjacent to the visitor centre. Also in the front of the visitor center, as well as The World's Largest Cross-Country Skis, is a Mile Post marking Mile "100".
