From the contours of the Fraser Canyon to the open waters of the Pacific, British Columbia's lower mainland is an amazing coastal journey. Starting off at Hell’s Gate, a dangerous stretch of Fraser Rapids, over 760 million liters of water a minute is forced through a narrow opening in the jagged banks of the river. 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.

    I watch several YoiTuber's from B.C. and have seen some of the BEAUTIFUL Provincial and National parks as well as some of the back country logging areas through their videos. There is something that draws me to that area that draws me like a moth to a flame. I'm a Florida born native so the mountains were something I'e not seen much of in my lifetime. Its a dream of mine to one day explore the entire B.C. coastal areas just to see some of those lush areas with my own eyes. I'm shocked at the number of free camping areas in such beautiful places! Thank you for all the arial views! They helped me orient some of the places I've seen on the other YouTube channels. Your videography is wonderful!

    Had to giggle when the narrator said "European exploration began...", was it not European exploitation?

    BC truly is gorgeous. Too bad about the current government and living conditions :/

    Hope and Yale are north of San Francisco and West of Chicago. The narration has it backwards. There are no towns west of San Francisco. The person who wrote it, is a dope head. And Chilliwack is more Southwest of Hope then South. The Fraser River actually makes a 90 degree turn at Hope. The person who wrote this needs to get a map.

    Awesome video! thank you. Just a note for the beautiful Canadian lass (from historic park) that is speaking (and i know will read this)... You need to work on your cute Canadian accent... Say things like aboot and stuff... That's what people want from Canadians... That, and super utlra friendliness... But she did excellent never the less.
