Enjoy the spectacular drive through the scenic Fraser Canyon and its seven highway tunnels. Ride the tram in comfort over the narrowest part of the Fraser River gorge where at high water level, 200 million gallons of water per minute rush through - that’s twice the volume as Niagara Falls! Understand why early explorer Simon Fraser named this place “Hell’s Gate”. View the International Fishways where millions of salmon annually navigate the treacherous waters en route to their spanning grounds. Facilities include: Gold Panning, Ghost Tours, Gold Panner Gift Shop, Education Center, Fudge Factory, Ice-cream Parlour, Simon’s Cafe, Suspension Bridge & Observation Decks.
In 2008 Hell's Gate Airtram will be celebrating the 200th Anniversary of Simon Fraser's journey down the mighty river that bears his name.
