FRASER CANYON

This awesome gorge has always
been an obstacle to transportation.
Indians used ladders and road
builders hung "shelves" to skirt
its cliffs. Canoes rarely dared its
whirlpools; only one steamwheeler
fought it successfully. Railroads
and highways challenged it with
tunnels and bridges, but today
man and nature still battle here
for supremacy.
