Ashcroft
Transport yourself to another world – an ‘oasis in the desert’, nestled in the curves of the mighty Thompson River. Located in BC’s magnificent ‘northern desert’ Ashcroft sits under never ending crystal blue skies amid the cactus and sage covered hills. This serene world, only a few hours away far removed from the big city, is steeped in culture and history. Once the ‘gateway to the north’ Ashcroft served as the starting point for the Gold Rush Trail acting as a major supply centre for the northern gold fields.

The Village is alive with a vital arts and cultural community. Perfect for avid recreational enthusiasts a place that you visit once and dream of visiting again.
