If you're looking for a real Wild West feel in otherwise green and forested Canada, Ashcroft is the place to be. The small town lies in the middle of a desert landscape with impressive canyons and rushing rivers. Ashcroft had its heyday during the gold rush between 1886 and 1920, when it was a strategically important position due to the railroad connection. Strolling through the detailed Heritage Place Park, you will learn plenty about the town's past.
