When is the last time you drove through the Fraser Canyon?

I really like driving through the Fraser Canyon.  Except that one time about ten years ago when we were travelling in February and hit black ice while passing another vehicle.  We ended up sliding sideways (ie looking out the passenger window gave me the view of the highway that we should have had while driving straight ahead) right past the car we were passing.  Scared that other driver as much as it did me - which may explain my dislike of being a passenger.

Now, back to what I was talking about.  The Fraser Canyon.  The pictures are a bit fuzzy because we were driving and I was messing around taking pictures as we were moving.

This is the ferry at Lytton:


A little further along heading east:


Still going.  We didn't see any white water rafters this time.  At some point we WILL stop to get pictures though when they are out on the river.  The picture below is a huge rock in the middle of the river, with rapids swirling around.  The picture doesn't show it very clearly though.



And then we get east (north east?  Did I mention I am directionally challenged) of Cache Creek, see how the landscape changes:


Yes, that is my reflection in the window.  Like I said, I was messing around with the camera while we were driving.

So, if you (J & T from the USA) are thinking of moving back to this neck of the world, this is just a subtle reminder of what you are missing!
