Hell's Gate: an exceptionally violent section of white water on the Fraser River, roughly two hour's drive from Vancouver. Explorer Simon Fraser named this spot after comparing the exhausting and precarious canoe portage past the roaring white water as like traversing the very gates of Hell.
Today, we make the trip in perfect safety in an air tram that runs every ten minutes for our convenience. Despite the hellish name, the visit is very much worth the trip. The views are spectacular, the guest facilities are pleasant, and the staff are eager to please. Much easier travelling than what Simon Fraser endured!
