What to see near CANYON ALPINE BC
The Fraser River
The Fraser River is the largest fish producing water course in the province.
The Fraser is also the worlds largest supporter of the spawning Sockeye salmon. Because of this, millions of Spring, Coho, Chum, Pink and
Sockeye salmon pass through the canyon on their way to spawning grounds every year.
Canada's second largest river is over 1,300 km long. It is one of the most commercially rafted rivers in the world.
In the Canyon the river is wedged between the Cascade Mountain Range and the Coastal Pacific Mountain Range.
The
narrow rock canyon walls cut a windy and narrow passage for the mighty Fraser
that
rips through this vigorous landscape.
The Nahatlatch River Valley
To get to the Nahatlatch River Lakes and River Valley, take the Trans-Canada Highway,
head east until you reach Boston Bar, turn left and head through North Bend and then
follow Chaumox Road. The drive is amazing! Along the west side of the Fraser, you will
cross many stunning creeks, ponds and scenery. You will pass over a large bridge that is
high over the marvelous jade green Nahatlatch River. As you cross the bridge you are
entering the Nahatlatch Canyon. The next stretch winds along the northeastern side
of the river. While you are driving, the Canyon starts opening into the River Valley
that is separated by four amazing lakes. Each lake has their own unique color.
The Nahatlatch has many great activities to offer such as our white water rafting
which we are famous for. The Nahatlatch River has some of the best white water in
Western Canada. Cabin rentals are available and many campgrounds are spread throughout
the area.

"no man
should ever pass through here. It was truly like passing through the Gates of Hell!" Hell's Gate is home to gigantic
fish ways constructed to assist the millions of salmon that pass through the river every year. While
visiting Hell's Gate, take a
walk across the suspension bridge and view the river from many observation decks. There is an educational
center with videos and
information and the history, the railway and of course the Spawning Salmon. The Salmon House
Restaurant is most known for their delicious
