Cache Creek is a junction community mi to km|220 northeast of
Vancouver inBritish Columbia ,Canada . It is on theTrans-Canada Highway in the province ofBritish Columbia at its junction with northbound Highway 97. It was originally at the intersection of theCariboo Wagon Road and the road to Savona's Ferry onKamloops Lake .Its name is derived, apparently, from a "cache" or buried and hidden supply and tradegoods depot used by the fur traders of either the
Hudson's Bay Company or its rival theNorth West Company .Although still very active with traffic, Cache Creek was extremely busy for a few decades before the
Trans-Canada Highway was superseded by the newer and shorterCoquihalla Highway , which bypasses the Fraser and Thompson Canyons between Hope and Kamloops via Merritt, about mi to km|60|precision=0 southeast.References
