The Fraser’s quite something going thru the West Coast mountain range, ay! And it gets squeezed thru a narrow gap called “Hell’s Gate” just before you get to Hope BC. There’s a gondola at Hell’s Gate that you can ride in, it crosses the Fraser and it’s really something to see!

Once the Fraser gets to Chilliwack it spreads out and slows right down. By Mission it is at a crawl, and by New Westminster you can just barely detect it moving. Then it breaks up into a delta known (sensibly) as the Fraser River Delta.

Hells gate is part of what I’m talking about.

We came west from Northern Mich in Canada, first time I saw the Rockies was east of Calgary.

Then we headed north for a while, and made it to 100 Mile house or so, the whole area was stunning, Kamloops, all of it!

And the Canadian ladies having more curves than the geography!

There was this blonde in Ravelstoke.......
