 Location: The Dil-Dil Plateau lies east of Mount Vic, in the South Chilcotins.
There are not many such plateaus in southern BC that are so extensive at over 7500 feet.
Terrain: The Dil-Dil is an ancient volcanic flow, and very level and easy to hike across in almost any direction. There are numerous big healthy deer up on the plateau. There is lots of water available for campsites, and no human, cow or horse trails, so you can drink the water without filters. The plateau has multiple levels, with the higher levels much more barren than the low levels. The above photo is at the lowest level, at about 6700 feet. At this level there are sometimes patches of low birch trees a bit less than 1 meter high, but there are always game trails and pathways between the patches, so they really aren't a problem. As you can see from the map, there are lots of fairly large streams on the plateau, and numerous little ponds and lakes as well.
