(57 miles west of Williams Lake on the Bella Coola Road)

Norman Lee left his ranch in this valley in 1898 with 200 head on a 1,500-mile ‘beef’ drive to the Klondike gold camps.  Five months later, winter forced him to butcher the herd.  He loaded the meat on scows which were lost on Teslin Lake, 500 miles short of Dawson City.  Lee returned, undaunted, to help in the development of the cattle industry on Chilcotin’s productive grasslands.
