Family trip with two boys May '12. Weather was clear skies and 20 C.
What makes Hell's Gate interesting is the history of building a railroad in such incredibly difficult terrain; that such efforts resulted in an accident that impacted nature, prompting a creative solution to address it. If any or all these elements combined with the clash of cultures...

Owner description:
Drive the Scenic Fraser Canyon with its’ seven mountain tunnels through the historic heart of British Columbia and relive the biggest ‘rush’ on the Gold Rush Trail. A location so unique the ‘afterlife’ have come back to use it as a playground. Early explorers refer to it as “a place where no human being should venture”, and man & nature battle here for supremacy.

I went here with a couple of girlfriends on a roadtrip. I have been here numerous times ever since I was a kid, and it never gets old. I live in Vancouver, BC so it's only a couple hours' drive. It was raining the day we went, but it didn't stop us! Rain or shine, this is a great place...

Beautiful scenery and you even get to see the salmon in the river below but other than that there's not really much to do. Not sure if it's worth the money to get in when you're only there a good 45 minutes.

A great day trip! The tram ride is a lot of fun. We enjoyed the museum and wondering through all the shops. It would be a fun family outing.

This place was amazing with all the information one can glean as you walk through it. What interested me was the information about salmon spawning and moving and also when their life ends. It's been set up nicely with a fudge factory where you can buy candy and sovenirs. Also you can try out gold panning(not in the river though)...

The tram takes you down to the bottom of the canyon right on the edge of the river. Salmon can be seen entering the fish ladder if the time is right.

We loved this place - the engineering skill is incredible and cant help but marvel at the achievemet of the early pioneers. The ride is short but that is not the only part of the attraction. There are lots of informaton boards, you can grab a drink and enjoy sitting in this amazing setting. The staff were really friendly and...
