We left Jasper, AB early on Wednesday and headed for our weekend destination in Washington State to visit with Al's kids and grand kids. After a long day of driving we stopped just short of the US border for a night in Chilliwack, BC which is just east of Vancouver. On the last leg of our trip down from Jasper we passed through the Fraser River Canyon portion the Trans Canada highway. It follows the river for about 150 miles and just prior to opening up as it turns towards Vanvouver it passes through a resticted area called Hell's Gate where there is a tram that takes you you to the bottom of the gorge. We decided to take the tram ride and it was quite a thrill as it descended towards the swirling rapids below. There is also a fish ladder at the site that helps the salmon negotiate the swift waters.
Tomorrow we head back into the US to visit some friends and the on to family activities.
