Hell's Gate Airtram, Boston Bar

North of Hope, just before Boston Bar on the Trans Canada Highway, is one of the most spectacular sights in British Columbia:

Hell's Gate, a narrowing of the Fraser River where the water churns through the famous gorge in a tremendous maelstrom.

 It's an awesome sight to behold, and certainly a "hellish" experience for the more than 2 million spawning salmon that must pass through this part of the Fraser River every year.

For a closer look at the fury of Hell's Gate, ride the Hell's Gate Airtram across to the other side of the river. Restaurants, gift shops and an interpretive centre await those daring enough to make the trip.

Ginny and I.
