From the contours of the Fraser Canyon to the open waters of the Pacific, British Columbia's lower mainland is an amazing coastal journey.

Today, the river rushes through this 80 km stretch of rugged, yet beautiful terrain. For centuries the canyon walls were an obstacle for settlers in connecting Canada coast to coast. However, in the 1950s and 60s, highway tunnels were blasted to complete the Trans Canada Highway, creating some of North America's longest tunnels.
