The town of Lillooet lies on the west bank of the mighty Fraser River, while the main highway approaches fron the east and south on the opposite side. The old bridge served for many decades until the new concrete bridge was built in the early 70's. The old bridge still remains upstream and is open to pedestrian traffic only for a spectacular view of the Fraser River surging just about 100 feet below you.
The town is also a major stopover point for the B.C. Rail trains before they climb the steep grades towards Pavilion and Clinton. The trains have six or more of the biggest locomotives pulling them through the canyon.

Camping_Girl Says: This road is unbelievable. The scenery is amazing, and there are few towns along the way. This means that there are few people and little traffic along the way, either. This is my idea of nature - rugged and untouched in many areas. You will see turquoise blue lakes, an...
Darby2 Says: Moran was once proposed as a site for a large dam on the Fraser River 30 miles north of Lillooet. However, it would have permanently destroyed the salmon runs.The plan put forward by U.S. financiers in 1952 called for a 270-metre (885 foot) high dam at Moran Canyon on the...
Darby2 Says: Although not as wild as the Colorado, the rapids on the Chilko and Fraser can be just as challenging....be prepared to ge wet!
